Atlanta Story Partners is now producing a documentary detailing the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games and its economic impact on the city through the lens of former mayor Andrew Young and the CEO of Atlanta’s Olympic Committee Billy Payne. 

The Games in Black & White will premiere in Spring of 2024 and features a soundtrack produced by Grammy award-winning singer/songwriter Dallas Austin. Austin’s remarkable career has included many collaborations with renowned artists like TLC, Boyz 2 Men, Madonna, and Janet Jackson while producing more than sixty songs that landed on the Billboard Top 100. As the doc’s musical director, Austin is creating an original song as well as recruiting other artists to join the soundtrack. 
“When I heard about The Games in Black & White and its focus on the friendship between Andy Young and Billy Payne, I wanted to be a part of it,” explained Austin. “The games had a huge impact on Atlanta’s hip-hop and creative community, and I’m hoping to add a bit of that storyline to the film. I see this film as a perfect way to add another verse to Atlanta’s amazing role in the global music scene.”
