Go All Access With New 'Filmed In Cherokee' App

The Cherokee Office of Economic Development launched a free "Filmed in Cherokee" mobile app earlier this year, offering an interactive experience that takes users on a behind-the-scenes tour of fan-favorite film locations.

"Georgia has quickly become one of the top film locations in the world, and when film enthusiasts come to explore Georgia by visiting their favorite sites from television and movies, they also increase tourism dollars in our communities," said Lee Thomas, Deputy Commissioner of Film, Music and Digital Entertainment. "We appreciate the Cherokee Office of Economic Development for their work on this innovative 'Filmed in Cherokee' App. Combining film locations with nearby business establishments will not only accommodate fans, but spur interest in local small businesses and help the economy."

Developed in partnership with Woodstock-based digital product design and development agency Black Airplane, the "Filmed in Cherokee" App features on-set photos, insider stories, and fun facts about why each film location was selected.

"The 'Filmed in Cherokee' App is the perfect day trip for local film enthusiasts who want to explore Cherokee's most recognizable TV and silver screen locations," said Cherokee Office of Economic Development President Misti Martin. "Whether you dine at the Ball Ground Burger Bus like Disney+'s Timmy Failure or want to take in the views at Ozark's Blue Cat Lodge on beautiful Lake Allatoona, there is a location for the whole family to enjoy."

The "Filmed in Cherokee" App is available to download for free on Google Play or through the Apple App Store. For more information on filming in Cherokee, visit Cherokee Office of Economic Development's film page.
