Irvin Way will be closed to through-traffic from noon to midnight Oct. 25, from DeKalb Industrial Way to Winn Way due to filming.

The state considers itself a “camera ready” destination for film and television production. According to data provided by the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Georgia-lensed feature films and television productions generated an economic impact of $6 billion.

Road closure and detour signs will be placed in the area to advise motorists of traffic restrictions.

Information: Jay Elgin, key assistant location manager for Third Voice Production, at 678-852-1800.
