Savannah College of Art and Design has completed its SCAD Film Studios expansion in Savannah, Georgia.
The 16-acre complex of SCAD Savannah Film Studios added new professional soundstages and more than 50 backlot facades and practical interiors to Savannah’s production landscape. The space, built for professional productions as well as students, is the largest university film studio complex in the world.
SCAD Film Studios is designed to welcome professional productions while giving students opportunities to work alongside experienced crews, performers and creative leaders.
Andra Reeve-Rabb, dean of the SCAD School of Film and Acting, executive director of SCAD Casting, said, “At SCAD, we don’t wait for students to graduate to introduce them to the entertainment industry.” She added, “We bring the industry directly to them. We’ve built a place where a major production can come to Savannah and find everything it needs — professional soundstages, an extraordinary backlot, cutting-edge technology and talented emerging artists ready to contribute.
“Our students aren’t watching the industry from the sidelines. They’re working alongside the professionals who will become their future colleagues. That’s an ‘only at SCAD’ experience.”…
