This week on “The Tie-In.” Zena and Mark are in the field at SXSW with the Chief Operating Officer of Hill Country Studios, Kevin Bar. They’re hoping to be fully operational by late 2026, and we can’t wait to see all the amazing Film and Television Shows they make. They will be situated right outside of Austin, Texas, which means that teams shooting media there will have access to some awesome natural locations. Kevin and his production team are currently working out some deals with major productions, local artists, and even some climate activists to make sure they’re incorporating sustainable ideologies. It’s thrilling to see the production industry grow in the South, where creative ideas are needed now more than ever. Most importantly, it’s growing the right way with conscientious people like Kevin at the helm.

We’ll be back with more SXSW exclusives next week, so please don’t forget to subscribe!

Kevin’s going to be accomplishing so much in the coming years, and we’re hoping to stay in touch with him. We hope you’ll follow him on LinkedIn and do the same! Check out the studio website and stay tuned for updates on its progress.
