: How CareYaya, college students are addressing loneliness in seniors; Feedback Friday: How can Georgia best support indie TV and filmmakers?

 

CareYaya is a healthcare tech startup that connects college students with families in need of caregiving services. Neal K. Shah, the co-founder and CEO of CareYaya, and Hannah Imolode, a CareYaya Joygiver and student at Georgia State University, discuss how CareYaya is celebrating seniors in Georgia and across the country through a Mother's Day Initiative.

 

Georgia's TV and film industry generates more than $4 billion to the state’s economy. The state’s film tax credit incentive has attracted big budget production companies. However, many smaller and independent companies don't benefit from the incentive, and recently there’s been a decline in productions being filmed in the Peach State. For Feedback Friday of “Closer Look,” host Rose Scott talks with people directly impacted by the shift and takes calls from listeners. Guests include: Sade Wilkins, an Atlanta-based producer and writer, Tabari Sturdivant, a director and producer, Kelsey Coggin, an Atlanta-based travel coordinator, and L.M. Davis, a director and filmmaker.
