Austin, Texas – Known for its vibrant and innovative film scene, Austin is getting set for a significant boost. Two new film studios are planning to break ground in 2024, heralding an exciting period of growth and development in the city’s movie industry.
One of the projects, named 204 Texas, is described as a “revolutionary fusion of Hollywood’s innovation and Texas’s grandeur.” This ambitious project envisages the creation of eight new studios spread over a sprawling 600-acre land in Bastrop, a charming town in Central Texas.
The brainchild of Alton Butler, the founder of Line 204, a reputable California-based production company, this project promises to be a massive boon to the local economy. According to the group’s economic impact study, the project is predicted to bring a staggering $1.3 billion over the next decade. However, Butler believes even this figure might be an understatement of the potential economic benefits.
A closer inspection of the project reveals a comprehensive plan for a self-sustained film industry. According to Butler, significant deals are already in place with various stakeholders, including trucking companies, décor contractors, and wardrobe providers, providing an immediate injection of industry infrastructure.
While the project awaits approval from city officials, Butler remains optimistic that with plans fully in place, construction could start within a fortnight of the approval being granted. This could signify an important milestone in Texas’ film industry, potentially attracting a host of collaborations between Hollywood and local filmmakers.
Austin’s growth in the film industry isn’t just limited to its cinematic projections; it’s also set to make significant strides in the music sector. The CMT Music Awards, celebrating the best in country music videos, are slated to take center stage at the Moody Center in 2024 featuring the creame la creame of music stars like Jelly Roll, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, and Cody Johnson, making this event another noteworthy contribution to the city’s expanding film sector.
The imminent growth of Austin’s film scene adds another reason why this charming city continues to be an attractive prospect for cultural and creative pursuits. It underscores the city’s commitment to embracing arts, culture, and films, igniting new inspirations and possibilities for filmmakers, artists, and creatives in and beyond Austin.
