    6 Min Read

    Filmmaker Tyler Perry made history in 2019 when he opened his very own movie lot in southwest Atlanta. More than 800 guests came out to christen Tyler Perry Studios.

    The star-studded event featured such celebrities as Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey, and even former President Bill Clinton and  Hillary Clinton. The acreage is now being courted by Texas Bishop T.D. Jakes, who is interested in purchasing more than 200 acres.

    Tyler Perry Studios: Everything You Need To Know

    Perry wasn’t born in Atlanta, but he’s made it his home for more than 20 years. In this article, we’ll look at some things you probably didn’t know about Tyler Perry Studios.

    Let’s get started.

    Unlike other movie lots, Tyler Perry Studios, like the name implies, made up of several studios.

    1. How Big Is Tyler Perry Studios?

    Tyler Perry Studios sits on 330 acres just outside the borders of East Point, Georgia. It is one of the largest movie production facilities in America.

    The studio is larger than the studio lots of Disney, Fox, Paramount, Sony and Warner Brothers, with acres to spare. 

    Here are some facts about Tyler Perry Studios:

    • More than 40 sites on the National Register of Historic Places sit on Tyler Perry Studios property.
    • Tyler Perry Studios has 12 sound stages
    • The studio also encompasses more than 220 acres of greenspace
    • The studio space has 21 movie sets on site

    Tyler Perry Studios has 21 movie sets on the property. They have names like “Mansion,” “Prison Yard,” ‘Rustic Cabin,” “Motel,” “Oval Office,” “Motel,” and more.

    3. What Are The Origins Of Tyler Perry Studios?

    6 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Tyler Perry Studios In Atlanta

    The plot of land, more than 300 acres, traces its earliest beginnings to a U.S. Army barracks that would soon be home for the Confederate Army. It would quickly return to the Union during the Civil War.

    In 1885, Fort McPherson would claim the space over 500 acres. The Army base was named after Union Major General James McPherson, who was killed in battle during the Civil War.

    When Georgia seceded in 1861, the Confederate government took charge of Fort McPherson. These lasted until the Battle of Atlanta, which saw operations at the base moved elsewhere.

    But the site is not so much about the past as it is about its future. Perry has transformed the grounds into an oasis of manicured natural beauty.

    4. How Much Did Tyler Perry Pay For Fort MacPherson?

    Perry paid $30 million for more than 300 acres of Fort McPherson. He would then go on to invest more than $250 million of his fortune into the land.

    When the price of the sale was published in the newspaper, there was quite a bit of criticism.

    5. Where Was Tyler Perry’s First Atlanta Movie Studio?

    Perry originally had a studio in Midtown Atlanta, where the site of Krog Street Market now sits.

    After that in 2008, he bought a studio lot in southwest Atlanta close to Greenbriar Mall. That studio was  200,000 square feet and a perennial tourist attraction.

    6. What Was The First Movie Filmed At Tyler Perry Studios?

    You know Atlanta has all types of movies filming here. Marvel’s “Black Panther” was actually the first movie to be filmed on the lot. 

    Perry has said in interviews how he thought it was appropriate that somehow a movie about a black superhero would be the first one filmed at his studio.

    7. Is Tyler Perry Hiring?

    Perry holds auditions periodically to fill positions on his many projects. Since he signed his production deal with BET+, he’s been hiring more and more for his series.

    We can’t say it’s easy to get a job with Tyler Perry, but here’s what you need to know to get hired.

    A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on

    //www.instagram.com/embed.js
    A who’s who of A-Listers spoke out about the massive achievement of Perry, who was homeless at one point in his journey.

    Beyonce took to Instagram to say this about Tyler Perry Studios.

    ” I could feel our ancestors’ presence. Surrounded by my heroes, I watched Denzel, Queen Oprah, Spike, Whoopi, Sir Poitier, Will, Halle , Dame Cicely and our angels John Singleton and Diahann Carroll honored. The Armand de Brignac crashed against each soundstage as fireworks lit up the sky. Generations of blood, sweat and tears, success, excellence and brilliance. It makes me so proud, so full, I could not stop crying. Thank you my Virgo brother for so much love and passion put into every detail. My prayer today is that you will take it all in. You inspire me to dream even bigger.”

    Actor Michael Ealy said that it was important for creatives of color to witness the creation of a black-owned film studio.

    Oprah Winfrey was visibly moved to tears during a choir procession at the gala. Footage from fillmmaker Ava Duvernay showed the mogul taken aback by the gravity of the moment at Tyler Perry Studios.

    Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.

    With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.

    4 Easy Steps To Become A Screenwriter In Atlanta

    4 Easy Steps To Become A Screenwriter In Atlanta4 Easy Steps To Become A Screenwriter In Atlanta

    We all know that Georgia’s largest city is the place to be when it comes to movie and TV production. But the city is also trying to become a writer’s mecca. If you want to know how to become a screenwriter in Atlanta, here are some steps you should follow.

    Atlanta has replaced Hollywood as a movie mecca, but to a large extent, all the writers rooms remain in California. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be a screenwriter in Atlanta.

    How to become a screenwriter in Atlanta

    In this article, we’re going to show you how to become a screenwriter in Atlanta so that your storytelling can make it to the big and small screen.

    AtlantaFi.com enlisted an expert, Tequoia Urbina, an Atlanta-based screenwriter and producer to help us break down the steps. She said she’s been doing video production since age 12 and has worked on various projects throughout her career.

    “I create stories with strong female protagonists and diverse characters,” she said. “I believe in weaving current events and global issues that will provoke discourse and inspire change.”

    If you want to do the same and become a screenwriter in Atlanta, here is a step-by-step process to make it happen:

    1. Get the skills, education & know-how

    If you’re serious about becoming a screenwriter, you’ll want to devote the time, energy (and money) it takes to go to school for it.
    Urbina attended a performing and visual arts magnet school in Savannah, Georgia from the sixth through 11th grade. She then went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in film from Georgia State University in downtown Atlanta.

    She then earned her M.S. in Communications from Northeastern University.

    Once you graduate or have amassed the experience you think you need to be successful in screenwriting, it’s time to start coming up with a project to write.

    2. Write your project

    Make sure your storytelling skills express something you think is either sellable or you’re passionate about. Also, make sure you stick with a genre you’ve researched and are able to do well.

    Urbina said the #1 way to make your project a success is to make it unique.

    “BE ORIGINAL, the more unique your script, the more difficult to steal.”

    3. Make connections / network

    Your work is going to stand on its own merits, but it always helps to make some helpful connections along the way. Urbina said you should use your social media accounts to try to reach people that can help your project take off.

    “I use social media platforms to make industry connections,” she said. “I have found LinkedIn to be the most effective platform for connecting with people in the industry and forming businesses relationships. I also highly recommend joining industry groups and attending local networking events.”

    4. Get your screenplay seen

    Now that you have this awesome screenplay, you may be wondering how the right person will read it. This is where you find ways to get it out there.

    “The best way to have screenplays read is to submit them to competitions,” Urbina said. “I advise that you use recognized sites like Blacklist and Coverfly for details on legitimate contests.”

    Of course, you can always go the DIY route to get your film before the masses. Here’s what Urbina said about that:

    “If you have a budget, film your project and promote it on social media.”

    Urbina said that many contests offer critique on submissions for an extra fee. “It is a great way to get objective feedback on your scripts and possibly the attention of industry professionals.”

    If you follow these steps, you will have a great chance of becoming a successful screenwriting career in Atlanta. But don’t think it happens overnight.

    Urbina said the process can be long or relatively short, depending on many factors. “There is no specific time frame. All contests have their own processing rate.”

    Here’s the #1 thing you want to remember as you submit screenplays

    Urbina said the #1 thing you can do is protect your original work.

    “The best advice that I can offer is to always copyright your work before submitting or sharing,” she said. “Also, don’t be afraid to send off your work for fear of someone stealing your idea. Yes, it is a risk but it is worth it if it lands in the right hands.”

    Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.

    With more than 700 movie and TV projects just in the last few years, the film industry has generated more than $9 billion for the state of Georgia.
