The ATL Actors Awards are coming back to Atlanta!

3/1/2019

Comments

 
If you live anywhere in the Atlanta metro area, you are aware that the film industry in Atlanta is continuously growing.  At this time, there are so many productions shot in Atlanta and Georgia, that it's too hard to keep up with what's shooting.  This has definitely opened up a door for actors in Atlanta to get more roles and opportunities. 
In 2018, When We Speak TV, attended the ATL Actors Awards honoring those very actors for their dedication and hard work in the film industry.   The really great thing about the ATL Actors Awards is that the creator, Kelvin "K Chill" Harris says he didn't want to have people vote like some of the other award shows. 
THE ATL ACTORS AWARDS IS COMING BACK TO ATLANTA FOR A 3RD YEAR!!!!
