DORAVILLE, GA — A space at Assembly Studios in Doraville is the newest home of the Georgia Film Academy.

Those wishing for jobs in the busy film and TV industry in Georgia can now take classes at the site of the former GM plant in Doraville.

“It’s exciting to see something on the north side of town, as well. We have Trilith on the southside. We have quite a few studios there. But, on the northside? This is just awesome,” said, Georgia Film Academy’s new Executive Director Scott Votaw.

Votaw runs the film academy for the University System of Georgia and says the new space is the seventh Georgia location to prepare future film and television workers for jobs in the growing industry.

“We teach the skills and applicable knowledge that allows you to go to work on a film on a crew for major motion pictures, television shows, all the things that are shooting here in Georgia,” Votaw said.
