Ruts in the road caused by a week of drivers avoiding a large lift parked halfway in the road in association with the Netflix original series “Ozark” off Gaines Ferry Road in Hall County. Vicki Bentley is upset with how the crew treated her and her neighbors’ yards, but a pending ordinance may fix the problem in the future.
Hall County has become a hub for Hollywood productions, but now county officials are addressing some of the downsides of having film crews descend on towns and neighborhoods. Full-length movies like “Blended” starring Adam Sandler and the Academy Award-nominated “Creed” starring Michael B. Jordan have been made in Hall, among many in Georgia. Filmmakers have responded to the state’s attractive tax credits, mild weather and local residents eager to welcome them.
