What I mean is: She has gotten some interest from casting agents in ATL. But her connections are with the NOLA agents. So, when roles came up in her wheelhouse, she automatically got a call. And the agents and casting people knew she could do the work. So they recommended her to lots of directors.

And NOLA is less than 3 hours for us. And ATL is over 6 hours. So it's like she will have to start all over in ATL. And it will take a lot more effort on our part to get her roles over there.

We aren't against making a push over there. But we were really hoping a NOLA comeback was on the horizon. Even a little one...

Ah, gotcha. I didn't realize you were talking about a 12 year-old in your original post. I have no idea what to tell you.

I know there were discussions on the tax breaks last year, but it sounds like Georgia doesn't plan on making changes any time soon. They keep pushing film careers in the state colleges to keep up with all of the studios opening up, and a lot of the big, non-film corps with political connections are getting in on building studios as well. It sounds like the film industry will be substantial in Georgia for a long time.
