🎬✨ We want to thank y’all for your patience. Starting a business is scarier than watching Friday the 13th on a foggy night—but from day one, we’ve been in it to win it.

As a local family, we’ve leaned on local partnerships to make the magic happen, and today we’re sending a BIG, heartfelt thank you to the Louisiana Small Business Development Center at ULM. Your guidance and support laid the foundation (literally and figuratively) for a dream that’s about to light up the big screen.

Because of you, families will be making memories under the stars for years to come. 🌟🚗🍿

We’re so proud to call this community home—and can’t wait to welcome y’all to the show!

We had a fantastic workshop in Tensas Parish last week! Our Digital Marketing & Online Presence Workshop, followed by one-on-one consulting sessions, exceeded expectations and helped local business owners make meaningful progress, explore new opportunities, and strengthen their digital presence.
A special thank you to everyone who came out and participated, and to The Walking Pig Restaurant for welcoming us and providing a great space for the workshop!

Tensas Parish, we can’t wait to see you again. Thank you for welcoming our resources, sharing your ambition, and investing in the growth of your businesses and community.

Rural development matters to us, and we’re excited to continue supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses throughout Tensas Parish and communities across Northeast Louisiana. We’re proud to be part of the work happening in these communities and look forward to what’s ahead!
