Congratulations to the Writers, Producers, Cast & Crew of the Georgia-produced television series “The Vampire Diaries” after their win for “Favorite New TV Drama” at tonight’s 36th Annual People Choice Awards, held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California. It’s well known in Atlanta’s motion picture community that the cast and crew of Vampire Diaries work long, late hours due to the show’s “vampire” theme and while this award won’t change their shooting schedule it is an encouraging sign that the show has legs for a second season. The other shows nominated for Favorite New TV Drama were FlashForward (ABC), The Good Wife (CBS), NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS), and V (ABC).

This evening we’re rolling out the new “Film Georgia Store” on Zazzle.com. Our first offerings include a few hats featuring a special version of the Film-GA logo, a couple of shirts, and our new line of “2nd Meal Mugs” (more on those below). The Zazzle store items can also be viewed right here at Film-Ga.com by going to the STORE link at the very top of this page (look up^^).
The 2nd Meal Mugs Collection features irreverent sayings related to various departments and jobs found only on a movie set; from camera assistants to background extras we’re hoping to eventually celebrate every person who contributes to the art of filmmaking. Our first batch of new mugs include these sayings:
- EXTRA: I put a little into every scene I walk through.
- CAFFEINE: It’s more important than checking the gate. Seriously.
- FEMININE MYSTIQUE: Just because I’m wearing a walkie doesn’t mean that I don’t have it.
- CONTINUITY: Yes, that scene was as badly directed as the last one. Totally matched.
- UPM: Destroyer of Kit Rentals – Don’t piss me off.
More are on the way, so stop by frequently to see what’s new, and follow us on Twitter for all the latest!
