What Trilith Studios does

Trilith Studios is a vertically integrated film and television production facility headquartered in Fayetteville, Georgia, operating across 700+ acres within a larger 935-acre master-planned creative community. The core physical offering comprises 30+ professional sound stages ranging from 15,000 to 40,000+ square feet, 187,000 square feet of workshops for set construction, props, wardrobe, and special effects, flexible production offices with a 26-seat Dolby 7:1 screening room, and over 400 acres of backlots including woodlands, an urban brownstone street facade, a 2-acre special effects concrete pad with 1800 amps of 3-phase power, and a Greco-Roman pool. The facility is operated by Trilith Studios, LLC as a licensee of the trademark held by parent Trilith IP Holdings, LLC. Productions are served by VP of Production Support Colleen Russell and Head of Production Services Michelle McConnell, while Creative Director and VFX Supervisor Barry Williams (The Mandalorian, The Avengers) leads technology implementation on the lot.

The business model centers on multi-stream revenue from a single enterprise customer base. Primary revenue is generated by renting sound stages, workshops, offices, and backlots to film and television productions on a quote-based, non-publicly-disclosed basis. The Trilith PLUS add-on extends the offering into bespoke production services — producer services, financial and Georgia tax-credit guidance, creative technology, housing, locations lookbooks, asset storage, and vendor coordination — and is supported by a curated on-site vendor ecosystem that includes lighting/grip, virtual production (The Third Floor, Whiskytree, SCANable), catering, fabrication, healthcare, legal, and workflow tooling. Ancillary revenue comes from on-site hotel (Trilith Guesthouse), wellness center (Piedmont Wellness Center), and restaurant/retail at Trilith Town, plus vendor office leasing. Distribution is exclusively direct enterprise sales via dedicated production-services executives, supplemented by industry event presence (Cine Gear Expo Atlanta 2025). Georgia's uncapped 20% base transferable tax credit is positioned as a structural tailwind for production bookings but is captured by the productions rather than by Trilith directly.

Customers are concentrated among major Hollywood studios and streamers, including Disney/Marvel (Avengers, Spider-Man: No Way Home, WandaVision, Loki, Ms. Marvel, Superman, Ironheart, Captain America: Brave New World), Warner Bros. (Suicide Squad, Saturday Night), Sony (The Electric State), Paramount (Sonic the Hedgehog), DC Studios, Netflix (Love Is Blind), ABC (Family Feud, Judge Steve Harvey), NBC (I Can See Your Voice), A24 (The Breadwinner), and prestige projects such as Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis. Sub-brands include Lux Stage (in partnership with Lux Monte Carlo) and Studio 6B (in partnership with the Trilith Foundation for independent filmmakers). The studio has no public listing, no disclosed funding rounds, and reports core headcount of 11-50, consistent with a lean operator model in which production labor is contracted per project.

Broad incumbents

• Pinewood Studios: Iconic UK studio operator (parent of Pinewood Atlanta) with the deepest installed base of major franchise productions globally. Sets industry benchmarks for stage rental pricing and production service offerings, and is the global incumbent Trilith benchmarks itself against.
• Walt Disney Studios (Studio Lot Operations): Disney operates its own major studio lots in Burbank and the UK. While a customer of Trilith, Disney's owned/affiliated capacity represents the vertical-integration risk for third-party studios, making it a structural incumbent in the broader production facilities market.
• Universal Studios (Production Facilities): Operates major sound stages and backlot at Universal City. Although primarily serving internal NBCUniversal productions, it represents the owned-lot model that competes with third-party facilities like Trilith for Hollywood's finite production pipeline.

Direct peers

• Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden: Warner Bros.-owned UK studio complex offering sound stages, workshops, and backlot to internal and third-party productions. Comparable scale and service offering to Trilith, serving the same blockbuster and streaming customer segments across the Atlantic.
• Tyler Perry Studios: Massive 330+ acre purpose-built studio complex in Atlanta, Georgia. Direct peer offering stages, backlots, and production services to the same Hollywood customer base, and is actively expanding capacity, directly competing for blockbuster and streaming productions in the same metro.
• Shepperton Studios: Major UK sound stage and studio facility serving Hollywood blockbusters and streaming series. Comparable vertically integrated offering (stages, backlot, production services) and competes with Trilith for major franchise productions deciding between US and UK shooting locations.
• EUE/Screen Gems Studios: Long-established Atlanta sound stage and production facility operator, providing stages, offices, and production services for film and TV. Directly competes with Trilith for mid-budget productions, episodic TV, and streaming series in the Georgia market.
• Blackhall Studios: Atlanta-based film and TV production facility with multiple sound stages, located in the same Georgia tax-incentive cluster as Trilith. Serves similar enterprise customers (major studios, streamers) and competes for the same productions.
• Pinewood Atlanta Studios: Direct competitor in metro Atlanta, offering sound stages, workshops, and backlot to film/TV productions. Operates within the same Georgia tax incentive ecosystem, serving the same Hollywood and streaming customer base, and competes head-to-head for major studio bookings.

Emerging players

• Netflix Production Facilities (Albuquerque & Other): Netflix has built and leased production capacity including ABQ Studios in New Mexico. As a fast-growing, vertically integrated entrant into owned production facilities, it represents both a customer and a structural threat to third-party facilities like Trilith.
