The Mississippi Development Authority and the Canton Convention and Visitors Bureau announced today that a new film studio, The Mississippi Film Studios, will be located in Canton.

The Mississippi Film Studios will be the first purpose-built studio in the state. The idea behind the studio is to attract film and television production to the state. MDA hopes the new studio will complement the Mississippi Motion Picture Incentive Program in developing the Mississippi film industry by encouraging motion picture production in the state.

The film studio will create at least 25 to 30 permanent jobs. The facility could employ up to 150 to 250 part-time and full-time workers when film production is underway.

“The Mississippi Film Studios at Canton will do much to bolster capacity for film production in Mississippi,” said Gray Swoope, executive director of MDA. “I am proud that this project will be able to support MDA’s Mississippi Motion Picture Incentive Program and build infrastructure for this growing industry in the state. I give credit to Governor Haley Barbour and our legislative leaders for passing this legislation six years ago to encourage the production of films and television programs in Mississippi.”

"Hopefully it will be good for business," said King Video Owner David Clark, whose store made a brief appearance in the movie "A Time to Kill" during the military scene. "It's pretty cool."
