Gwinnett Tech graduate Claire Dunlap works the camera during a sports segment for Warner Media. Through Gwinnett Tech and the Georgia Film Academy, Dunlap has since worked on numerous movies and television productions. 

Many works are art are not the result of one artist but the result of a group effort. Take movies for instance: Film can definitely be art, and the number of talented people it takes to create one movie can be substantial.

Georgia is now the third ranked state in the country for making filmed productions, and Gwinnett County is in the forefront of this booming industry with studio sound stages at OFS and Eagle Rock Studios. According to ProjectCasting.com several weeks ago, Georgia had 75 projects over the next 18 months, needing 40,000 workers.
