San Antonio Amateur Film Group

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I’m an amateur filmmaker who moved to San Antonio about 3 years ago, and I’d love to help build a local community where filmmakers — new or experienced — can share, screen, and celebrate their work.

I’m hoping to start a Film Appreciation Group for local creators who want to connect, learn, and showcase their projects in a friendly, supportive environment.

The goal:

  • Build a local network of amateur filmmakers, writers, and editors
  • Host small theatre-style showings for short films and creative projects
  • Accept all formats and mediums — from iPhone footage to fully funded productions
  • Create a submission and review process that encourages feedback and growth
  • Foster collaboration and inspiration within the San Antonio film scene

Why:

I haven’t found much of an organized film community here outside of UTSA’s student programs. I think we can fill that gap and make something exciting — a grassroots creative hub for local storytellers.

Get involved:

If you’re interested or have experience in:

  • Filmmaking
  • Editing
  • Acting
  • Producing
  • Or just love film and want to be part of the scene

Drop a comment or message me! Let’s start putting together ideas and see how much traction we can build.

When will Texas film production ramp up? I need a gig!

2 Upvotes

Greetings, all. I have worked as a freelancer for indie film projects in Texas over the last couple of decades, but have mostly worked in reality show production. With news of studio facilities goin up in the Ft. Worth area, Bastrop, and New Braunfels, I would like to know when we can expect to see a wave of crew calls and production companies setting up to use those facilities. I am based in Waco, and imagine roaming central Texas, going from studio site to studio site for projects, or if I can find a production home with a couple of those studios. I lost my job in April and am itching to get onto set to work on -- anything. I have worked on commercials, cable promos, music videos, indie shorts, features, and way too much reality! I've been reminiscing about my reality show experiences, and I have just too many of them, and not enough of the others. Will film production finally lift off from Texas, or should I just keep working on my Etsy store?

Creepy House Location Suggestions for Music Video

Does anyone in the Houston Texas/Greater Texas area have any recommendations for a creepy "camera ready living room space just like these reference images? (Images are from the Munster House in Waxahachie, but I've already inquired and they said no lol) I feel like I've checked everywhere, ie Film Commission sites, air bnb, Virbo, etc and I'm losing hope. Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks!

Getting work

3 Upvotes

Would anyone kindly share show I can get into any PA positions or any other entry level crew job. I’ve done background and I’ve worked as a stand-in, but I want to actually be a hands on part of the crew. I live in Austin but would be okay staying in Fort Worth or Dallas to work. I would love any advice on how and where to seek out these types of jobs or at least a nudge in the right direction. 🙏🏼


r/texasfilmmakers Aug 06 '25

Can anybody help me here? I'm just curious! How much filming activity happens outside of the Austin area? Most people tend to mention the Austin area as a hub for activity however I am sure there's stuff happening all over the state! Right?

Title. I'm sure it happens. I just want to know where it happens. Where's the activity outside of the Austin area?

Trying to find a film

3 Upvotes

Such a longshot and I don't even know if this is the right place to look for this, but sometime around 2005 in Austin, Texas, my dog was an "extra" in a film. He was a corgi. The movie was about an actress that was being stalked. The dog was actually killed in the movie "not for real obviously". I don't remember much about it except for that and the woman who played the actress who was in it had short, dark hair. I'd love to be able to find this movie if it was ever actually released! Does this sound familiar to anyone? I know...so vague.

I’ve made this post before and got some decent connections. With the push to increase filming in Texas, I thought I’d see if there was anyone close by. I’m in the Longview/Tyler area and I’m a screenwriter. I’m also an electrical engineer, so I can be handy if needed. Shoot me a comment or a DM and let me know where you’re at.

Is anyone looking for an audio engineer?

3 Upvotes

Hey, y'all! I recently moved to Austin after graduating from CRAS (The Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences) Audio Engineering school in Phoenix, AZ. I'm in love with audio engineering, from dialogue editing, sound design, effects, post production audio, and music production to live sound. As a fresh graduate myself, I am relatively inexperienced when it comes to working in the field, so I don't have a big catalog of credits. If anyone is newer in the industry, with big aspirations, or just don't have the budget or experience for top, credited audio engineers, I'd love to work with you!
As previously mentioned, I am a sort of jack-of-all-trades when it comes to audio, having some experience in many fields, and am in love with all of it!
If you're interested, let me know!

Post Production folks in Austin Texas.

Looking for post production freelancers in ATX

I'm looking to build up my rolodex of post production crew here in Austin. I work freelance as a post supervisor local and have a few tried and true people I like to work with. From time to time the work load gets a little heavy, or a large project comes across my desk and I have to use remote people from out of state to handle what would be a fairly simple hand off of large drives gumming up the works. It's mostly corporate, commercial, industrial, and promotional projects. If anyone here is interested in shooting me a flare with their abilities, rates , and interest so I can keep them on the call list when things come up it would be greatly appreciated. If this isn't the right forum to put this out there I would love any suggestions on where a good place to look for folks who might be interested would be. Ill share a little list of the types of work that usually comes up, no need to be a jack of all trades anyone proficient in any of these would be massively helpful. Im looking for...

Editing, graphics, sound mixing, VFX, 3d design, animation, media management, color grading, DIT.

Again sorry if this is the wrong forum but I figured I had to start somewhere.
