Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has postponed a Los Angeles-based event to promote the Georgia film industry after intense backlash over the state’s recently-passed anti-abortion bill, Kemp’s spokesperson Cody Hall told TheWrap.
Originally scheduled for May 22 at the West Hollywood Sunset Tower Hotel, “Georgia Night in L.A.” has now been rescheduled for the fall. “In the meantime, the Governor will be touring production studios in GA to meet with employees and reaffirm his commitment to the film industry in our state,” Hall said.
The Georgia Film Office and the West Hollywood Sunset Tower Hotel did not immediately respond for a request for comment.
