The cinema world is changing and the new era of film making is here. To navigate through it all, without any knowledge or skills, will certainly end any attempt at success.

Our mission is to inform and prepare the next generation of film makers. Keeping the good traits that built Hollywood but loosing the tactics that destroyed it.

We help you develop your talents. We give you direction and help you build confidence to create a competitive edge. We provide you access and information. We make productions and create a network of active collaborators.

Breaking into the industry

Goodbye Hollywood. It’s time to close the casket. From the pandemic, to the double strikes (WGA & SAG), accompanied with terrible box office flops, the waste of money and a diminishing audience has turned Hollywood into a ghost town.

The industry is not over, it’s changing. Investments from well established production companies are leaving California, and independent studios are making a come back. They’re looking to make productions in states with better tax incentives and Texas is a major player.

This business is tough but success is possible. You need contacts, leads, and access to a working network. It wasn’t easy for me but with hard work, determination, and some help from above, I managed to make a career out of it. And now, you can too.

Will Texas be the new movie making capital ?

"SB 22 is now law, securing an unprecedented $1.5 billion over the next decade for Texas’ moving image incentive fund. This moment is truly historic — a landmark victory for our industry and for every creative professional who calls Texas home."
