Filmmakers vow to boycott Georgia amid abortion bill controversy.
Two days after Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill outlawing abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected, two filmmakers have vowed not to work in the state again.
"Can only speak for my production company. Our comparative assessments of locations for upcoming development will pull Georgia off the list until we can be assured the health options and civil liberties of our female colleagues are unimpaired," Simon tweeted. Killer Films will no longer consider Georgia as a viable shooting location until this ridiculous law is overturned.
