Writer and producer Anthony Voorhees is developing a television series about a Southern mafia family. While the show, dubbed “Dixie Mafia” is still being considered by various networks, locations in Forsyth County could be featured if it gets picked up. “This would be like a Southern ‘Sopranos,’” Voorhees said while waiting to board a tour bus on a recent morning outside the Cumming Holiday Inn Express.Voorhees was one of about 35 location scouts, producers and other film and television makers who spent a day touring Forsyth County to get a look at diverse settings that could be used in movies and TV productions.
