Operating and pipeline soundstages across Austin, Bastrop, and the wider Central Texas production region. Anchor tenants, capacity, and what each campus is built to do.
Robert Rodriguez's personal production facility and the longest-running anchor of Austin's production community, established in the late 1990s. The campus, adjacent to Austin Studios, runs full-stack: production offices, soundstages, fabrication, art, wardrobe, props, and post under one roof.
Public catalog cites 100+ productions through the campus — independent features at one end, $200M+ blockbusters at the other. Effectively a turnkey studio for filmmakers who want everything within a few hundred feet of camera.
The Austin Film Society's not-for-profit studio campus, sited at the former Robert Mueller Municipal Airport. Five stages and roughly 100,000 square feet of production space across offices, mill, and support. The home base for a significant share of mid-budget television and feature work produced in the city.
The Austin Film Society also operates AFS Cinema and a slate of grant programs that feed talent into the regional pipeline; Austin Studios is the production-side anchor of that ecosystem.
The southern anchor of the next Texas production cycle. Producer Alton Butler of Los Angeles–based Line 204 broke ground in early 2026 on a roughly 600-acre Bastrop County campus designed to deliver eight soundstages and approximately 500,000 square feet of stage and support. The build also includes on-site crew residences — the "film-play-stay" concept Butler has been pitching.
All eight stages are slated to be operational by Q2 2026. The ten-year economic-impact forecast for the combined Bastrop studio buildout is roughly $1.3 billion.
A separate Bastrop County development, roughly 75 acres and approximately $100M in projected build cost, spearheaded by actor Zachary Levi. Positioned as a working-artist alternative to the traditional Hollywood production model, the project is the second of two studio complexes simultaneously in motion in Bastrop County — alongside 204 Texas.
Independent Austin soundstage and production-support facility. Stages for independent features, episodic television, commercial, and music-video work. Part of the second-tier studio base that lets Austin absorb overflow from the anchor campuses.
A long-running Central Texas studio property east of Austin with backlot acreage and interiors. Predates the new Bastrop buildout by years and has carried independent productions, episodic work, and short-form content through the region.
Austin-metro soundstage and production-support property; named on the Austin Film Commission's published facility list alongside Troublemaker, Austin Studios, ATX Film Studios, and Spiderwood.
