Offering Platform
INTRODUCTION TO OUR COMPANY
Singularity Studios, LP (Singularity or the Company), a real estate development and management firm, was formed in 2023 to build and manage feature film and television production studios in Georgia. Singularity plans to build studios specifically built for feature film and television production. Singularity will offer customers production space that allows them to film in a comfortable and professional environment that offers benefits above their expectations.
The Opportunity
Georgia is bursting at the seams with film and television production and is in dire need of production space. Currently, most production space in Georgia has been carved out of old industrial buildings or abandoned office complexes; these types of spaces never work well though, due to the limitations they seemingly always cause designers to have to work around. Production companies like big stages which allow them to build sets and shoot without limitations. By constructing and leasing large stages, Singularity's clients will have the freedom they need to build any scene; be it a lunar landscape, a war-torn city, a basketball arena filled with fans, or whatever other ideas the writers can conceive.
The Georgia Department of Economic Development reported the state hosted 412 productions: represented by 32 feature films, 36 independent films, 269 television and episodic productions, 42 commercials, and 33 major music videos.

Why Georgia?
With almost 4.5 billion dollars spent last year by production companies in Georgia, the state set another record for television and feature-film production. In fact, in Georgia, spending by production companies rose a whopping 10% over last year and there is still no end in sight. Georgia saw over four hundred productions produced in the state last year, productions that included made-for-TV movies, feature films, episodic television, game shows, and more! Last year alone, Georgia had over forty full-length feature films shot in the state. Georgia is quickly becoming the home of the world's feature film and television production industry. No wonder companies like Disney, BET, Warner Brothers, Paramount, Sony, and Universal are lining up to take advantage of what Georgia has to offer.
operations summary
Why Production Studios?
Production studios are unique, which is why Singularity can charge a premium for the space. The special sound abatement, “quiet” heating and air, and other studio amenities allow the Company to charge rates higher than typical class “A” office space can garner, this is because the customer is not just renting a ”space”, but the perfect shooting facility.
A good investment
The Company's business plan should allow Singularity to return to investors their initial investment, plus receive a good return on that investment. The General Partner believes that the Company's chance for profit is particularly good since strict cost controls will be utilized on land purchases, building costs, and amenity installations. Singularity's efforts to produce great production facilities at an affordable price should produce superior returns for the Company's investors.
The Strategy
Singularity aims to build equity into its investments from the start. To do this, the Company will obtain multiple bids and appraisals before purchasing raw land and then apply a sharp pencil to construction costs to ensure properties are developed in a cost-effective and value-added manner.
Keeping it simple
The best part about the studio rental business is that it is not complex. Start with the right size studio space, add good sound abatement, build in quality heating and air, mix in the proper ratio of shooting space to office space, offer enough auxiliary rooms for the wardrobe, makeup, and art departments, add ample parking for both crew and production vehicles, and you will have a facility that should lease at a great return on the dollar and shouldn't require expensive updating all the time. Unlike companies and industries that require the latest technologies, such as computers or industrial equipment which change every few months or require constant maintenance, studios, if properly built, require very little upkeep.
Georgia’s film industry has skyrocketed in recent years, cementing itself as a primary filming location with blockbuster hits like “Avengers: Endgame” and record-busting shows like “Stranger Things.”

Why our clients will stay in Georgia
Georgia has discovered that a tax incentive is the “carrot” to attract production companies to the state. That is why Georgia is “all in” when it comes to a tax incentive and doing what it takes to ensure production companies desire to come here. This enthusiasm is due to the State of Georgia's full commitment to the production industry and all that Georgia has to offer. Disney, Netflix, Amazon, and other titans of the production industry are coming to Georgia because of Georgia's lucrative tax incentive, a tax incentive that has been in place for almost two decades. 4.5 billion dollars in spending provides almost 1.5 billion dollars in tax incentive savings for production companies, savings which they can utilize or offer to other corporations. Even though other states like New York and California also offer tax incentives, Georgia has incentives that are far more flexible, making Georgia the go-to state when it comes to producing a show of any type.
