Escobar, the owner of the Plaza Theatre in Atlanta, is one of the people leading the charge during the Request for Information (RFI) process, which began on April 17 and closes on May 1. Then, the Request for Proposal (RFP) runs from May 7 to June 21.

He said this would be game-changing for the film industry in Atlanta.

"This is transformative in terms of people having a real shot of art," Escobar said. "Not just being the factory where films get made, but an opportunity where films are getting bought here, where people who don't normally get a chance to have their their voices heard and seen and invested in."
