Staff Report

Tuesday, April 26th, 2022

Georgia’s film and television industry is bursting at the seams and an Atlanta-based multimedia and event company, Georgia Hollywood Review, has built a multi-faceted strategy to support it.

As a media leader in the entertainment industry, Georgia Hollywood Review (GHR) is furthering these successes in five areas:

New TV Shows - 2022 brings two new broadcast entertainment programs. “Behind the Lens” is a long-form talk show hosted by award-winning journalist Ryan Dennis. Link to Episode 1 featuring an interview with DC the Brain Supreme. This weekly 20-minute show will stream across GHR’s digital platforms including Roku and Amazon Fire.  

The second show is “Behind the Lens News,” co-hosted by Dennis and Danielle LeRoach featuring shorter briefs covering the latest news. Link to news segment.

Georgia Hollywood Review magazine - This bi-monthly glossy and digital publication is creating a “goodwill bridge” between Hollywood and Atlanta, telling the stories of traditionally marginalized voices: Black, white and brown; Gay and straight; Male and female; He, she, and they. It’s vital that these stories are shared.

East/West Connection - The relationships between Hollywood and Georgia are key to the success of the industry. GHR recently expanded into Los Angeles, distributing copies at more than 400 locations in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and West Hollywood. GHR is the only dedicated Georgia-based media outlet covering the industry on this scope and level. 

Events - The “Thursday Night Live” event series and red carpet party brings industry players to Studio 135 in Inman Park with live entertainment, awards recognizing industry leaders, and streamed roundtable discussions with actors, directors, and producers. Every event (next one is March 31) is hosted by Angelo Diaz from the hit TV show “ATL Homicide.”
