An icon is a widely admired person who symbolizes significant contributions. Craig Miller did all of that and more for his development and impact on the Georgia film and entertainment industry.
He was an innovator, a mentor, and an inspiration for hundreds, if not thousands, across the state of Georgia and beyond. The statement from the Georgia Film Office, through the GA Office of Economic Development, sums up part of Miller’s contributions.
Georgia’s film and tourism communities are mourning the loss of one of their greatest champions with the passing of Craig Miller, filmmaker and founder of Craig Miller Productions in 1985. Craig worked as a tireless advocate for the film industry for more than 30 years, supporting the creation of Georgia’s film tax credit and elevating the state’s tourism assets through his production company. As someone who always showed up, his influence was felt at every film and tourism-related event, and he served on numerous boards and industry organizations where his perspective and positivity were equally valued. He was a great friend and will be remembered for his infectious laugh and effervescent spirit and is deeply respected for his innumerable contributions to the State of Georgia. Craig also served as president of the Georgia Production Partnership and as a member of the Georgia Film, Music, and Digital Entertainment Commission.
