Independent Films Double Down, as Hollywood Films Back Down

Narco Sub
#summerofstryker
Welling Films - Narco Sub
As we move into the Fall of our second year in a pandemic, we begin to see new trends within the film industry emerging. Blockbuster films such as Avatar 2, The Batman, and Mission Impossible 7 have all been postponed or pushed back due to Hollywood’s crackdown on Covid, leaving fans in anticipation for extra weeks, months, and even years. Streaming vs. the Big Screens?


With movie lovers looking to get off the couch and back into theaters, the search for entertainment has begun. Luckily, we need to look no further than to independent films, who have decided to take the time and effort necessary to meet their promised release dates during these times.

Independent writers, producers, and filmmakers are pushing the envelope and beginning to fill in the void that major blockbusters are leaving for fans. The indie film companies are using data and spending the marketing budgets needed to compete with "hollywood" titles at the box office.


Executive Producer, Derek H. Potts brings us one of those independent films with "Narco Sub" the independent Action/Adventure film of the Summer. Packed full of raw talent and suspense, the audience follows the compelling story of a former U.S. Navy Seal who becomes a criminal, to rescue his wife and daughter from the Colombian drug cartel. The Remi Award winner for “Best Action Film” is sure to provide movie-goers with all of the entertainment satisfaction we are looking for.

Not only are independent films putting in the effort to meet release dates, they are also strategically collaborating with cinema owners to identify new opportunities during these changing times. With the postponement of major movies, theaters have been struggling to put new content on the Big Screens.

Independent filmmakers have realized this situation, which makes them work even harder to meet deadlines and support theaters in ways that may have not been possible pre-pandemic. There is an obvious need for localization, as it pertains to movies and a specific audience.

So, the next time you’d like to see a movie, look out for independent titles making a difference in the film industry. Be a part of "Narco Sub" and the Summer of Stryker movement.

Texas competes with Hollywood - "Narco Sub" the movie is making waves with #summerofstryker

The Texas Film Scene is proving that you don’t need to be in Hollywood to get things done.

Summer of Stryker is here!

When a person typically thinks of Texas, they might not necessarily think of Film productions and Movie premieres on the red carpet, as one of the major qualities of the Lone Star state.
This has changed recently, with Texas-based companies producing Hollywood level films and bringing in the talent to match.
Non-studio companies have not let the pandemic halt their progress. As a matter of fact, they have found more ways to produce and distribute films efficiently and with tighter budgets. Deepwater Productions has hosted a series of Military Appreciation Watch Parties, where they offer free T-shirts for a certain number of early guests.

Will the recent box office success of these independent companies attract big budget production companies and talent agencies out of Southern California, and into Texas or Florida?
Is there training and development established
for filmmakers and talent in the South?
KMP Entertainment is a Texas based company that specializes in teaching: Film Acting, Film Writing, Improv, The Business of Acting, and Cold Reading as well as serving as an agency. KMP, founded by Kendal and Michelle Murray (Son-Mother) , heralds professional development in the film world to those who aren’t living in Southern California. KMP has some great things in the works for the upcoming year.

The team at Deepwater Productions brought together a cast that makes the film feel genuine and exciting. With Tom Sizemore, Lee Majors, Robert Lasardo, Jen Barbeito and Tom Vera as the lead talent in this Action/Adventure film the audience is left satisfied and entertained.
