Texas Founded. Texas Funded. Texas Filmed.™
This isn’t just a mantra — it’s our model.

At MollyLlama Studios, we make independent feature films—developed, financed, and produced entirely in Texas by professionals who live and work here. We’re not parachuting in from other states to chase tax credits. We’re rooted here, building something lasting.

We intentionally research and film in communities—especially rural counties—where production can deliver meaningful financial impact. From the Gulf Coast to the West Texas mountains, we showcase the state’s natural beauty and complexity, using real Texas locations and characters to create globally resonant films with unmistakable regional soul.

With best-in-class talent, crew, and post-production resources right here in Texas, we don’t need to look elsewhere to make world-class films. Everything we need is in our own backyard—and we use it to build productions that are both creatively fearless and economically smart.

By exceeding TMIIIP incentive thresholds and aligning with the momentum behind the $500M ‘True to Texas” initiative, MollyLlama Studios is helping set a new standard for what independent filmmaking looks like in America’s most dynamic creative economy.

Founded by Executive Producer Samuel L. Williamson, MollyLlama Studios was launched in 2021 with angel investor, Bonanza Capital.
