OnSet

Texas is one of several “new Hollywoods” vying for big‑budget productions that have already drifted east to Georgia, Louisiana, New Mexico and beyond. Soundstages in Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth and San Antonio are expanding, crews are multiplying, and legislators are putting real dollars behind the boom. In April 2025 the Texas Senate passed SB 22, seeding a $2.5 billion Moving Image Industry Incentive Fund—$500 million every two years through 2035—designed to keep cameras (and jobs) in‑state Texas State Senate Texas Scorecard . Those funds come with a catch: productions must prove they’re hiring qualified Texas residents. Yet most studios still rely on static PDF “crew lists” or word‑of‑mouth calls that overlook thousands of professionals and slow hiring to a crawl. OnSet bridges that gap. Digital‑first marketplace that replaces spreadsheets with real‑time, geotagged profiles so productions can staff every department in minutes, not weeks. Verified Texas talent—background‑checked, credit‑listed, and ready to unlock state incentives on day one. Incentive‑aligned workflows that automatically log local hires and spend categories for TMIIIP reporting, smoothing rebate audits. Statewide reach via partnerships with Film Commissions in Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi and the Texas Film Commission, plus studio pilots with 101 Studios/Paramount. Scalable tech built on Stand By’s proven backend and integrated with MovieLabs security guidelines for future‑ready data exchange. OnSet ensures that as Texas scales from regional hotspot to national production hub, its crew base scales with it—seamlessly connecting the people who have the skills with the projects that need them, at the speed of modern filmmaking.
