    ‘Atlanta’ Wins Peabody Award For Its Final Season

    2 Min Read

    The popular FX show Atlanta has won a Peabody Award, it was announced on Tuesday, May 9. It is a prestigious honor for the show, which wrapped after four seasons last fall.

    Atlanta also won a Peabody in 2016, its inaugural season. The 2023 awards have 35 winners across all genres of TV entertainment.

    The series, created by actor and singer-songwriter Donald Glover, delves into the lives of three friend navigating life in Atlanta.

    The awards said the show allows Glover to play “a shiftless Princeton dropout trying to manage his cousin’s burgeoning rap career, won a Peabody for its first season in 2016 for its sharp, evocative depiction of its eponymous city and the cast of characters making their way through it. Now, in its final seasons, the groundbreaking series has transcended its original success by introducing an anthology-style structure in season three that deviates largely from the central cast, allowing the final two installments of Atlanta to display a wealth of creativity and insight.”

    What Streaming Service Is Atlanta On?

    Because of streaming rights, a lot of content is restricted in the United States, but available elsewhere. Atlanta FX is one of those shows that is pretty easy to watch — outside the continental U.S.

    For those in America, Atlanta FX is available on two streaming services: Hulu and Amazon Prime Video.

    If you have a subscription to Hulu, you can watch Atlanta FX on demand.

    If you have Amazon Prime Video, you can watch Amazon FX for a fee.

    On Prime Video, Atlanta FX costs:

    • $2.99 an episode
    • $17.99 for a whole season
    It’s funny how that works, but that’s how it operates. If you don’t want to pay for Hulu, try this free streaming hack.

  • How to list your home for a film location in Atlanta, Georgia

    How To Rent Out Your Home to a Film Company

    4 Min Read

    One of the coolest ways to make money in Atlanta is to put your home on the film location list. Not only is it passive income, but you can make that “movie money” over a week’s time or more.

    Living in a large city like Atlanta, which is a movie mecca, makes it easy to earn cash for renting out your home.

    This article will tell you what to know about renting out your place to a movie or TV production company. Netflix, Amazon and other studios are actively looking for filming locations.

    How To List Your Home As A Film Location In Georgia

    Big stars like Will Smith, Tom Cruise or Melissa McCarthy could be filming scenes in your living room. How cool is that?

    Let’s go through the steps to get you set up. By the way, you can also list your business or property as a film location too. The most important thing is that you must be the owner and the home can’t be for sale.

    1. Take Photos Of Your Home

    The site requires that you show photos of your home from the street as well as the exterior and interior. Interior shots are mandatory, so don’t skimp on that.

    These Are The Photo Requirements

    • Photo size: 150 dpi or higher
    • Recommended size: Between 1MB – 3 MB (maximum file size: 10MB)
    • 1680 X 1054 resolution (or higher) for large size web browsing
    • Physical photo size: 8.5 x 11 inches
    • Unique features of your home; cool amenities
    • Also include any assets on the property, such as a barn or pool
    • Shoot multiple photos that are wide and high-quality (from a camera phone is OK)

    These Photos Won’t Be Accepted

    • Those that are dark, narrow and low-resolution
    • Any screenshots from videos
    • No brochure photos
    • None taken in inclement weather

    2. Submit Your Photos Online

    Next, you just have to upload your photos online. The site that you’ll need to do it on is Ga.Reel-Scout.com.

    From there, your photos are reviewed to see if it meets all the requirements. If approved, your images are added to their library.

    3. How You’re Notified

    Once your photos are approved, they are included in a filming location database available to location professionals around the world looking for the perfect location for their projects.

    If someone wants to use your location, you will be contacted by the Georgia Film Office to set up times and availability based on the production’s filming schedule.

    4. Name Your Location Fee

    From there, it’s between you and the specific film company to negotiate a rate to use your property.

    The Georgia Film Office is not involved in the transaction. The way it works is that the production will make a specific offer based on their budget and shooting requirements.

    As a warning, never give your bank account number to someone who wants to wire you money.

    Final Thought

    Making money from your home is one thing. Making money on your home is another. You can do it by renting your house out for a major movie or TV production.

    You can make some good money by listing your home for Georgia’s movies and TV shows. If you’re looking for a way to make extra money, renting  your home out to a major movie production is a great way to do it.

    If you don’t want to list your home for a particular type of film and TV genre, content or budget,, just note it in the “usage restriction” field of the form you fill out.

    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.
    There are so many movies filmed in Atlanta these days that it’s hard to keep up with it all. That’s why I suggest you subscribe to AtlantaFi.com to get all the freshest movie casting calls, celeb sightings and Atlanta happenings delivered to your inbox.

    Here’s what one person says about the Yule Forest: “We were extremely impressed with this “pumpkin patch” visit. We met up with friends here and all together had 4 kids running around (1-4 yrs old), loving every minute of it! SO many activities & things for the kids to explore. This place was well worth the $ and 30 minute drive. The only thing that could have made it better was an actual pumpkin patch. All pumpkins were already picked, under a large tent. Did not bother the kids though.”

    Final Word

    Fall is the perfect time to spend some quality time with the family. And the good part is you don’t have to spend any money.
     
    If you can’t make time to enjoy the changing leaf colors, make sure you get to run up to North Georgia to enjoy nature.

They recycled many items of the previous structure, installed pecan floors created from a tree which grew in their backyard and included various natural elements in the construction of stone walls, all resulting in a stylish, spacious, comfortable, contemporary living space.

    Many of the homes displayed their significant art collections, much created by local artists. Of course, we also consider our gardens part of the art world, so stay alert to the many forms of gardening that have been created. You may even notice that some of us have eliminated grass entirely from our landscapes.
