This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark discuss and learn about the future of film production in Texas from the Co-Founding Partner of “The Shine Co,” Heather Page. It’s not everyday that we get to hear from a former film commissioner and expert on the policy angle in the film & TV industry. Heather and Shine Co. co-founder Mindy Raymond use their knowledge of the industry to help local communities find creative solutions that contribute to economic development. We really appreciate people like Heather who help people leverage media and transform communities. She and her team do an impressive job at helping their clients encompass possibilities into all possible angles of success. We felt the awesome opportunity for film & TV developments and communities alike to step into their power and harness the power of entertainment beyond the immediate.

This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark share another episode from the 29th floor while surrounded by the gorgeous skyline of Austin, Texas, and during SXSW no less. Join us and the “fluxy” flow of nature’s greatest source of natural light on the Red ThreadX balcony with “Clever Carbon” Founder, Michelle Li. She’s making sustainability the new norm, and this episode is a great source of education for how to engage people in the conversation around climate activism. The world is changing, as is our language, so new tactics must be implemented to realize their value. We know that clean tech is the way forward, and it's providing cost savings and opportunity across operations. We think Michelle’s work is exciting, and we hope you’ll follow her amazing progress after listening in: https://clevercarbon.io/about-us

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.

This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark are chatting from the 29th floor while surrounded by the gorgeous skyline of Austin, Texas, and during SXSW no less. Join us, and a neighboring, noisy building power system, on the Red ThreadX balcony! This week they’re chatting visionary directions for sustainable creators with Nathalie van Sasse van Ysselt (@nvsvy), a passionate creative director and experimental designer. We’re talking about how culture and technology combine in service of great storytelling, which is what film and television fans are most hungry for. IP, existing or new, can tell climate stories, and the productions around them can be examples of the real thing.

We’ll be back on the balcony next week! Follow Red ThreadX and maybe we’ll see you there someday: https://www.theredthreadx.com

We’re pleased to share our conversation with her that took place only an hour before her SXSW panel. There’s still so much we have to learn from Nathalie, so follow her alongside us. All social links can be found through her website: https://nvsvy.com

This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark are chatting from the 29th floor while surrounded by the gorgeous skyline of Austin, Texas, and during SXSW no less. Join us, the natural light of the sun, and a neighboring, noisy building power system, on the Red ThreadX balcony! This week we’re chatting with the Founder and CEO of “Human Change,” a global strategic firm, and all-around proud business longevity opinion maker, Bradley Schurman (@bigschur) several hours before he speaks at SXSW! He’s the co-founder of “New Rules,” an innovative platform that blends a thought-provoking newsletter with an upcoming podcast, and there’s lots on the horizon for this innovative thinker. We’re talking about how climate change is permanently changing the way we see, or should see, business opportunities. Conceptualizing solutions and using highly intricate demographic data to do so can help inform greener business practices. Together, we can establish a firmer foundation for profitable, and just as importantly, sustainable futures.

This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark chat with Lilian Liu about maximizing the benefits of finding sustainable solutions across a variety of art forms. Tech-forward solutions are becoming the new standard, but there’s still a long journey ahead in getting everybody on board. It used to be that companies needed to find the road map. Now that we have them, it’s all about getting support in executing those plans. Implementation is a cultural, communal effort, and this process is the kind of change that yields results. The time for giving up when the going gets rough is over. Thinking about the results from the beginning helps keep organizations holding course. The fashion industry where consumers, many of whom want sustainably ethical products, have a closer connection with brands and their sustainability. We have lessons to learn from other industries and this conversation is a great start.
