SAG Film Production List - Texas And Louisiana

This is a partial list of signatory productions and productions that have begun but not completed the SAG signatory process. There are some productions missing from this list: ALABAMA MOON which is prepping to shoot in the New Orleans area (Covington) and is being directed by Tim McCanlies, is not on this list. Nor is the TEMPLE GRANDIN project for HBO which is now shooting in Austin. But, this is the list distributed by SAG to members, so take it for what it’s worth.

I’m including only Texas and Louisiana in this post. New Mexico production was not a part of this list which was only for the South Region.

Once again, this list is illustrative of the current state of affairs of Texas film production.

Note the number of Theatrical contracts in Texas vs those in Louisiana. The theatrical contracts are generally for films with budgets over +/- $2 million. The Low Budget and Ultra Low Budget contracts specify much lower budget thresholds. Which state has the bigger budgeted projects?

Most producers will not accept direct submissions and will only consider performers submitted by talent agents. Since they do not accept direct submissions, many producers will not grant permission to include casting information or production office address data on these communications. If the information does not appear on this update, it was not made available to the Guild for publication.
