Independent film company based in Maypearl, Texas. Founded in 2026 by Michael Finn McKool. Currently producing BASIC, our first short.
We make low-budget genre films. Mostly sci-fi and mystery. Small casts, real locations, practical production wherever we can manage it. We hire emerging actors and regional crew. BASIC is the first project. It shoots in Ellis County, Texas in June 2026.
We're based in Maypearl, Texas, about thirty-five miles south of Dallas. Most of our locations come from the surrounding area: county schools, libraries, farmhouses, the roads connecting them. Crew and talent are sourced from the DFW pool.
