Central Studios was created by Jason Hanline as a way to facilitate film productions for high school students.  The goal of Central Studios is to provide instruction and education directly applicable working in Georgia's growing film industry.  

Students must utilize all phases of production in any film they make.  All content must be completely original.  That means from Development to Distribution, every aspect of our productions are created by our students.  

In the few short years we have been here, out students have already been viewed in several film festivals, worked with industry professionals, and even earned credits on IMDB.
