Atlanta is known as the “Hollywood of the South” and WABE’s podcast “The Boom” takes a weekly look at our growing television and film industry.

Our “City Lights” series “Speaking of ‘The Boom’” amplifies the voices of local professionals who keep Atlanta’s film industry thriving. This episode highlights Atlanta’s master prop master, Clifton Guterman.

Guterman runs Thrive Acting Hive and Clifton Guterman Casting in Atlanta, providing Atlanta’s film, television and events scene with the actors it needs to keep running. Guterman wears many hats and has taught, performed, directed and produced projects for various clients.

He objects to the idea that casting directors can cherry-pick talent that comes through their studios for productions, but on the days he sends out offers, he “loves it… more than anything else.”
