USA Through Film: Director Andy Tennant's Atlanta

Director Andy Tennant (Sweet Home Alabama, Hitch, Anna and the King) found everything he was looking for in southern Atlanta. “Atlanta is a great thriving metropolis. It’s got great art, great museums, all the things you would expect in a big city, but it has its own personality because of its history.” It also fuels his creativity. “When I need to be a grown up and write a movie, I go back to Atlanta."

This is part of our series of two-minute films about the country’s most magical locations. Seen through the eyes of 12 film directors, we hear their personal stories in their favorite landscapes and cities. We celebrate the USA as film’s greatest backdrop and via our film directors we gain unique insights into these extraordinary places.
