One landing for actors, crew, vendors, partners, and educators. Pick the lane that fits, follow the link. We answer everything.
We're casting BASIC for the June 2026 shoot in Ellis County, Texas. Three teenage leads, two adults, day players. Non-union and emerging welcome. Reps welcome too. We answer every submission within 48 hours.
If you own a place around Maypearl, Italy, Waxahachie, or anywhere along FM-66 that fits a quiet, slightly-out-of-time vibe, we'd love to come by. Same for vendors who rent camera, sound, grip, and lighting packages out of DFW.
Press kit and downloadable materials are live now. Trailer drops October 2026. Festival programmers and accredited press can request screeners between October and the December public release. Boilerplate descriptions and quick facts at /press.
Once BASIC is out (Christmas 2026), we'd love to do small screenings: theaters, libraries, schools, art spaces in Texas first, then anywhere a screening makes sense. We bring the file, you bring the room.
The same five rules apply whether you're an actor, a vendor, or a programmer.
Casting and press: 48 hours. Everything else: when we can. We don't ghost.
DFW and Ellis County before anywhere else. Working with people who already know the area saves everyone time.
Calls run on time. Wraps when called. Meals on schedule. Days don't drag.
Everyone in a department appears in credits. Stills and clips for your reel after release. We boost everyone when press hits.
BASIC is short one. The plan is to make a feature next, then keep going. Working with us once means we'll think of you next time.
