However, attending the next edition of the South Georgia Film Festival and RKDS Film Fest should be enough to fulfill your wishes for star sightings.Īs a part of the Hollywood of the South, a title that fits Georgia like a glove these days, Valdosta may be the next big destination for the film industry but hasn’t lost its touch of Southern hospitality. With a growing number of movies filmed in Valdosta, stumbling upon a movie star could happen more easily than you think. Other stars attending the festival, organized by Valdosta-based filmmakers Roy Kirkland and Doug Sebastian, included Ricky Schroder, Simone Griffeth (who appeared in the 1973 movie Sixteen and countless classic TV hits including Magnum, P.I.), and Valdosta-born actor Sonny Shroyer (who acted in Forrest Gump but is best known for his role as Deputy Enos Strate in the famous 1979 TV series The Dukes of Hazzard).
What do Burt Reynolds, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bette Davis and the cast of TV’s Hot Grits have in common? They all roamed around the streets of Valdosta during filming and, in the case of the reality series, the film crew followed actual locals as they engaged with one another in their (unscripted) daily routines.īurt Reynolds loved Valdosta so much the first time around, when directing and starring in Gator, that he gladly returned to headline the first annual RKDS Film Fest in July 2018.
