Local Community - OM Entertainment

Local Community of Artists

The film industry is a difficult market to break into. Even as a PA (Production Assistant), finding well-paying, steady work often requires having the right connections, and being in the right area, like L.A., NYC, or Austin. This strikes at the very core of why OM Entertainment seeks popularity and success. These 2 elements are a form of currency that can lead to being able to hire and fairly pay all kinds of artists and crew - from actors, to grips, costumers, and producers.
Houston is not a well-known area for scripted, narrative filmmaking, despite it being the fourth largest city in the USA! It's not always feasible for someone to move to an area where film congregates, and with more and more content going online, as well as changes in technology like editing programs, that has allowed more of the industry to become decentralized, making our dream even more of a reality.

In our pursuit to become fully self-sustaining and independent, we have teamed up with like minded organizations and individuals, who have brought not only there appreciable skills to bear on the same goal as us, but align with our ethics of fair treatment for all artists, at all levels. Here are some of those organizations, with more to be added:
