Bolaji Bailey began working on sets in Georgia in the 1980s in the camera and electric departments. His son, Irie, followed in his dad’s footsteps as a grip. A grip is someone who builds and maintains the equipment for cameras. Bolaji and Irie have seen the state's film and teleivision industry change a lot. They talked with host Kalena Boller about how it's becoming more racially diverse.
