Because we will distribute our publication throughout Atlanta as well as many Los Angeles hot spots such as Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and West Hollywood, our stories and ads will be seen by established entertainment professionals and readers in both Georgia and Los Angeles. The goal of the expansion is to create a continued amicable playground for storytelling. Ultimately, promoting a spirit of goodwill and inclusivity that supersedes politics and geography in the entertainment industry.

At each event, the host/moderator will conduct a group interview of entertainment industry professionals where they will answer questions about their craft, their inspirations, their challenges, and projects they have worked on in Georgia. It will be filmed live and aired later on Georgia Hollywood TV (available on YouTube, Roku and Amazon Fire). NOW LET’S TALK SWITCH GEARS TO GROW GEORGIA FILMS.

HOW DID THURSDAY NIGHT LIVE EVENTS COME TO BE? Everyone is anxious to get back out and socialize, es- pecially those of us in the entertainment industry as a lot of productions were pushed back due to the pandemic. We want to provide a safe social environment in a fabu- lous event space for people to have fun and network. WHY DID YOU PARTNER WITH 42WEST ENTERTAINMENT GROUP?
