HELLO-ERR!! It's Tyler Perry Studi-ERRS (TPS)

Tyler Perry Studios (TPS) is an American film production studio founded by an American actor, director, playwright, screenwriter, producer, author, and songwriter, Tyler Perry (born Emmitt Perry, Jr.) in Atlanta, GA.  “The entire facility is 60 acres…30 of them are in development and the other 30 are a part of our future development”, stated Mr. Perry.  Tyler Perry started his studios from a vision lead by divine intervention.  He expressed that early on he went to the facility and turned away because he felt that it was too big.  However, that same night, Mr. Perry had a bout with insomnia and got back up and went back to the facility.  He spoke to this divine intervention saying, “…if this is meant for me, give me a sign and make it plain.”  As Tyler looked at the gate surrounding the premises, he began to see Bible scriptures and he knew at that moment that this was meant for him.  From then on, Tyler Perry Studios was born and Perry stated that he never looked back since then.  According to an interview Tyler had with Mo’Nique on The Mo’Nique Show, he chose Atlanta, GA as oppose to Hollywood because Atlanta is like home for him, individuals are honest, and these characteristics are important to him.
