Sim Video Opens New facility in Atlanta, Georgia
Tuesday September 13th 2011Georgia’s film and television production tax credits are attracting more than just filmmakers to the state, this week Toronto-based production equipment and service provider, Sim Video announced the opening of a new facility in the heart of Atlanta.
With an enticing tax credit of 20 percent to qualifying productions and an additional 10 percent break to films and shows that feature a Georgia promotional logo, the state boasts more than 274 productions shot from July 2010 through April 2011, making it among the top five US states for film and television production. High production levels coupled with Sim’s attachment to the hit TV series Vampire Diaries (which currently shoots on location in Atlanta) were both encouraging factors in their decision to set up a permanent facility.
The Atlanta office will be the sixth location for Sim Video who has been operating since 1982 from long-established offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Halifax and Beijing. Despite existing equipment suppliers already established in the Georgia market, Sim is confident that their added service offerings will be an attractive draw for Atlanta-based clientele.
“Since 2009, we have been providing a wider range of services that are designed to help facilitate a better and more efficient digital workflow,” said Rob Sim, President of Sim Video International. “Our merger with Bling Digital allowed us to extend our offerings far beyond camera and post production equipment rentals to now include expert Video Assist, Data Management, Digital Dailies and LTO archiving services and, our clients have been benefiting from better and more efficient digital workflows in the process.”
Sim’s newest office is located at 6425 Powers Ferry Road in the North West region of Atlanta. The facility holds over 3,100 square feet of space, perfect for camera and data-cart preps and, processing digital dailies. Atlanta native and production technician, Stuart Huggins (inset) has been appointed General Manager and will oversee the daily operations.
