Steve Mensch, thepresident and general manager of Tyler Perry Studios, died Friday night when the small plane he was piloting crashed on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Mensch, a celebrated figure in Atlanta’s film community, had been with Tyler Perry Studios since 2016. He was previously the president of Third Rail Studios, another Atlanta-based film company.
Mensch helped advocate for and maintain Georgia’s film tax credit of more than $1 billion a year. Those lavish subsidies have made Georgia one of the most active places in the United States for film and television production.
