A new player has joined Atlanta’s film industry. The Hassan Group, a company formed by serial entrepreneur couple, Hamdy and Angie Hassan, announced this week that they have formed a new business division focused on arts and entertainment.

With Georgia’s strengthened position in the TV and film industry, the metro area has become a mecca for entertainment businesses. The Hassan Group hopes to capitalize on this by focusing on original TV and reply management.

Indie director/producer couple Kareem and Michelle Davis will join the Hassan Group as partners to head the new division.

“We wanted authentic people as partners. Someone that has proven that not only can they fall but get back up again. All and all, I can see us in the Davis’, no matter how hard life tries to knock them down, they just keep coming. We’ve seen their mistakes and mishaps, but we’ve also seen their drive and growth. Those are the type of people I want as partners!” said Hamdy Hassan, CEO of Hassan Group.

The new arts division of the Hassan Group will start off by made-for-TV content acquired from indie filmmakers. Meanwhile, Reply Management will be a boutique agency that will take on only 10 talents every three years.
