East Mountain Film and Sound Studios has opened in Rockdale,Georgia

-

East Mountain Studios is a premiere film production studio, dedicated to meeting the needs of top film production companies.

With over 30,000 SF, EMS provides the infrastructure necessary to produce projects ranging from major motion pictures to videos and television shows.







As one of largest film studios in the Southeast, EMS boasts the largest sound stage in the state of Georgia and is located miles from downtown Atlanta. Through the organization of top industry professionals with decades of industry knowledge in their respective fields, EMS is poised to become one of the leading film production studios in the United States and, on Wednesday, Feb. 20 2013 in Conyers, Georgia, East Mountain Studios celebrated the opening of their Rockdale County facility with a ribbon cutting ceremony. This event was open to the public followed by a mixer with a 21-gun salute by the American Legion with a raising of the flag.













Hors d’oeuvres were furnished by local business and live entertainment and performances made for a lively networking atmosphere. Special guests included Rockdale County Commission Chairman Richard Oden, representatives from Congressman Hank Johnson's office, and a host of film producers and directors.

The studio will be home to some of the largest sound stages in the state. With over 130,000 square feet of space including four sound stages, conference rooms and office facilities, this area is an ideal space for production companies to use to develop their products from start to finish.


Co-owner Thomas Blake, said “This is a community-based company. We always put the community first by hiring local construction workers for our building projects as well as hiring from local vendors for any food needed for our events. We specialize in hiring from our local talent pool first.”


Time Warner, Paramount, and Universal Pictures have previously used the building, the former Takahashi plant, before it was owned by East Mountain. The facility has hosted such productions as the fifth installment of the Fast and the Furious series "Fast Five," "Joyful Noise" and "American Reunion," the latest installment of the American Pie series.

With East Mountain Studios being the only studio specializing in back lots, and Rockdale-Conyers being designated as a "Camera-Ready" community, the owners expect the possibilities to be endless. In fact, the inspiration for East Mountain Studios has been Georgia's consistent recognition as one of the top three U.S. states for film and TV production, said Blake. He also pointed out the studio is conveniently positioned 25 miles from downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson Airport.


East Mountain Studios is currently working on completing four major New York Back lots including Upper Manhattan, Lower Eastside, Central Park, and Brownstones/Bodegas.

The grand opening of the entire studio will be at the end of May.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
