Join us for 1 or 2 full days of in-depth
coaching specifically designed to help you get your first (or next)
film made as soon as possible!
Sessions will be taught by veteran independent Film Producer, Micah Lyons, who has written, directed, and/or Produced approximately 20 feature films over the last decade and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts from Texas State University. His most recent credits include STIGMAS (2026) starring Amelie Anstett, Harrison C. Thomas (Landman) and Robert Knepper (Prison Break), Slater’s Gold (2026) starring Banks Pierce (Play Date), Katy Mixon (Eastbound & Down), and one VERY famous star that we can’t announce just yet! Lyons also wrote, directed and produced Amazon Prime’s #1 western title, Bad Men Must Bleed (2025) starring Todd Terry (Vindication), Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill, Freakier Friday), Willie Robertson (Duck Dynasty), and two time Academy Award nominee Bruce Dern (Nebraska, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood). Lyons’ 2026/27 slate currently includes a female-driven thriller and a faith-friendly bio-pic based on the best selling book, Lost Girl (2027) which tells the harrowing story of Rebecca Contreras who went from drug addiction, gang involvement and abstract poverty, to encountering God and landing a job working in the White House directly for George W. Bush during his Presidency and eventually becoming a multi-millionaire entrepreneur.
*Sessions and Exclusive Brunch will held in Longview TX on June 27th & 28th, 2026. Exact location will be provided in your confirmation email once your reservation has been secured.*
