足交视频

Editor鈥檚 Note: This is the third article in a four part series that details the making of a movie in 足交视频 entitled 鈥淩ide or Die鈥� which is a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired film starring and directed by L.A. photographer and director, Joshua Shultz.

Could 足交视频 become the next L.A., the next Hollywood? Picture an iconic 足交视频 sign sprawling over the hill, overlooking this not-so little town.

For some, making 足交视频 into a movie hub is more than just a pipe dream; it鈥檚 already become a reality set in motion.

When friend Joshua Shultz, looked for a place to film Ride or Die, co-founder of Viva Texas Film Festival Karissa Winters said, why not 足交视频? That鈥檚 been a question Winters and many others have posed for years as she has watched other small Texas towns become film destinations.

It wasn鈥檛 a hard sell getting Shultz to make 足交视频 the backdrop for his movie as Shultz has filmed multiple projects previously here. Knowing the community would rally behind the project, Shultz set his sights on 足交视频 for his project, bringing more than just exposure to the area but also business possibilities.

鈥淭he movie was an opportunity for people in the community who are interested in film. They got to work alongside professionals, make connections and get hands-on career skills and experience,鈥� Winters said.

This was the vision Winters had imagined, and now local artists and dream makers can see a pathway for a career in film right in their own backyard.

鈥淭here鈥檚 so much value in skill training and bolstering your r茅sum茅 by working on films like Ride or Die and getting your own credit on IMBD. That鈥檚 opening doors not just for the city, but for people as well,鈥� Winters said.

By providing job opportunities and producing the talent to make films, 足交视频 becomes more attractive to outside investors.

鈥淲e have what it takes; we have the talent, we have the gumption 鈥� we just need the projects,鈥� Winters said.

Winters knows the talent exists because she鈥檚 seen it firsthand with the Viva Texas Film Festival, which has highlighted filmmakers from all over the world 鈥� from small indie producers to recognizable names high up on the end credit roll.

鈥淲e have more talent than some of the regular industry professionals,鈥� Winters said.

Aside from putting local movie buffs and actors on the map in a metaphorical sense, Ride or Die also helped 足交视频 attract exposure.

鈥淭his film was a calling card to show the world 足交视频鈥檚 local talent 鈥� we鈥檙e just waiting for the word to get out, 鈥� Winters said.

Towns like Smithville, Texas, where the 1998 film Hope Floats starring Sandra Bullock was filmed, have seen an uptick in tourism and film production. Movie movement tourism and having recognizable and accessible film focal points like the film鈥檚 Huebel鈥檚 Bar brings more traffic and business through the town.

Locations like Fossati鈥檚 Delicatessen, a historic landmark where scenes from Ride or Die were filmed, are accessible to the public and easily recognizable in the film.

In Ride or Die, The Barn, Texanna Inn in Inez, local ranches and roadways set the scene in Shultz鈥檚 action-packed film.

But it wouldn鈥檛 only be filmmakers or the city itself profiting from locally filmed movies. Small businesses would also see more green in their wallets.

When a large cast and crew come to 足交视频 to shoot a movie where they eat, sleep, drink and shop in, local businesses and restaurants profit from it. When a production lasts years, it generates more money and exposure for boutiques, hotels and restaurants.

鈥淲e have to work together to show the world how special 足交视频 is,鈥� Winters said.
