This week on On The Cusp, hosts Matt and Dave sit down with two major players in the local film scene—Bill Joyce of HowdyBot Studios and Rick Simpson of Shadows Productions. These “movie guys” stopped by to share what they’ve been working on and why they’ve chosen to plant deep creative roots right here in Shreveport, instead of heading west to Los Angeles. Bill and Rick talk about how filmmaking is changing and why Shreveport makes sense for developing a film—from the initial idea to the script to the artwork. They highlight the creative and practical benefits of working locally, from access to talent to greater control over the production process. Tune in to hear how these two are not just making movies, but also reshaping the future of the industry—one project at a time.
