    Atlanta casting call: Is it worth it?
    Photo by Polina Tankilevitch from Pexels
     
    As a longtime Georgia resident, I have attended numerous casting calls for all types of projects for major TV platforms like CBS, BET and more.
     
    I also worked as an extra for quite a few TV shows. If you’re wondering if being casted is worth it, you should know that it’s a matter of perspective.
    The casting director doesn’t want you schmoozing with the talent and taking pictures, but if you can compose yourself, it’s an easy way to make money.
    Just be aware that it will take up all of your day for the most part.
    If you want to know more about being an extra, here’s what you need to know.
     

    With regular movie and TV projects produced here just in the last several years, Atlanta’s film industry has surpassed Hollywood, despite the movie machine bringing productions to other areas with New Orleans casting calls and Savannah auditions, among others.
     
     
    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.

    Georgia Fall Foliage Map 2023: Where & When To See Gorgeous Peak Leaves

    5 Min Read

    With the wind increasingly getting colder in Georgia, the autumn has been awesome for a change. Leaf watchers already know that the best fall foliage currently can be viewed in North Georgia, along the Blue Ridge Mountains and other areas.

    Georgia Fall Foliage: Leaf Map

    The Peach State’s peak weeks for fall colors will be toward the end of October according to the latest foliage prediction maps. Why not make it a Georgia weekend and and check out the beautiful fall colors?
    Let’s take an in-depth look at how the leaves will change this fall season into the winter. Below, we list the top Georgia state parks to see the fall foliage.

    Autumn in the Peach State always brings out some of the most strikingly beautiful scenery in the Southeast. The weather trends a bit cool, but the brilliant colors of the leaves makes for some refreshing sights and great fall activities like apple-picking.

    You may be wondering where to see the most gorgeous colors of fall foliage locally.

    Scroll down to see a prediction map that can help you on your travels to see the wonderful leaves turn different shades.

    Where Is Fall Foliage In Georgia?

    The earliest changes in the color of leaves began in September in the North Georgia Mountains. By late November, Atlanta will be in the full throes of fall as the temperature plummets and the leaves fall.

    The reason why the mountains peak first is due to the higher elevations. Come early November, parts of Atlanta will start to brown as well.

    Here is the Georgia fall foliage map, courtesy of SmokyMountains.com.

    “This is a world-class first-class venue with an excellent light show and definitely an upscale feel I love the fact that you can run into any and everybody from celebrities athletes to your neighbor.”
    “Visiting from out of town. Had a pretty good time. Found them on eventbrite cause we were looking for something to get into. Parking closest to the club on the street was $20 & $40 for valet. We just parked a little further up the street and paid nothing. The lounge itself was posh, nice design, the DJ was jamming. The audience is so different now going out. People don’t really dance. They just stand around looking at each other and their phones. Drinks were a bit pricey. The seating is a little interesting. You can basically sit anywhere up until a waitresses or someone asks you to move because someone bought the table/sections.”
