Atlanta videos & movies-Scene from “The Bluff” movie
Memories of violent killings brings acting opportunities to Atlanta indigenes. After years of crime, poverty, violence and drugs in a northwest area of Atlanta, two positives things may come out of it. Firstly, Simpson Road and the connecting Simpson Street in northwest Atlanta could become Coretta Scott King Drive. In addition to honoring King, proponents of the name change hope it will help give the struggling area a new identity. The streets pass through an area also known as the Bluff, which has been plagued by crime, drugs and a lack of economic opportunity, including the Vine City neighborhood, where the Kings began raising their four children. Secondly a hand full of talented Atlanta indigenes with no prior acting exposure have been transformed to local movie stars and production crew workers by Atlanta Filmworks Inc, an independent movie production company working to develop Atlanta’s own movie industry aka LANTAWOOD.
