Tyler Perry uses new film studio for good

After the world-renowned launch of  Tyler Perry’s own major film studio, the Hollywood businessman recently announced his plans on using a portion of the 330-acre property to house disadvantaged women and children. Perry hosted the grand opening of his newly-created Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia last week and he is now focusing on his next project: building a shelter for rescued trafficking victims, homeless women, and displaced LGBTQ youth.

In an interview with CBS This Morning (USA), the studio owner said he plans on building the compound on his studio property so the residents can simultaneously undergo on-site job training for the film industry.

The actor hopes that erecting the compound on the studio property will allow him to offer stability and hope to others who have suffered through difficult circumstances.
