The i-World Producers Academy is a game-changing opportunity for those who aspire to become producers in the entertainment industry. Focused on the business side of production, our academy is designed to equip students with the critical skills needed to succeed in a competitive and ever-evolving industry. We’re not just teaching creativity; we’re teaching how to navigate the business, monetize projects, and scale production efforts for long-term success.

Our academy will offer both classroom learning and hands-on training, ensuring that students gain practical experience alongside theoretical knowledge. This approach addresses a crucial gap in the entertainment world: many independent producers create art but lack the expertise to turn their work into revenue. As a result, countless projects sit on shelves, never seeing the light of day. We’re here to change that.

Creating and distributing content are the backbone of any thriving production industry, and compelling content is essential for success. In today’s market, producers need to create content that not only resonates with audiences but also garners global distribution, creating a cash flow that sustains careers and fuels the industry’s growth. Our academy will teach producers how to monetize their projects, navigate distribution channels, and build a career that creates opportunities for themselves and others.

Through youth after-school programs, we will engage and inspire the next generation of creators, providing them with the tools to succeed in the world of production and storytelling. This academy is more than just training—it’s an investment in the future of the entertainment industry, ensuring that independent producers have the skills to succeed and thrive for generations to come.

CREATION:  Lift Latinhearts is committed to discovering exceptional new content that can launch the next wave of groundbreaking entertainment and create long-term careers for Texans in the process. Through the annual Fiesta SATX Film Festival we will invite submissions for fresh, compelling short and long form films with the potential to become series in genres such as sitcoms, dramas, sci-fi, and reality TV. Think of it as a film festival meets a high-powered conference, but with a unique focus on discovering the next big series.

This event will serve as a platform for independent creators to showcase their work, while also fostering career growth in Texas' burgeoning entertainment industry. Each pilot will be carefully judged, and participants will be recognized with awards that spotlight their talent, creativity, and vision.

In the next few years, we’re taking things to the next level by inviting network executives to participate, ensuring that creators have direct access to industry decision-makers. In addition, we’re in talks with an established Canadian film industry conference partner, aiming to make this event an international destination conference—drawing global attention to Texas and opening doors for creators to connect with an expansive network of industry professionals.

The goal is clear: to create a sustainable pipeline of content that not only garners industry recognition but also produces real, long-term jobs for Texans in the entertainment industry. With this annual event, we’ll establish Texas as a hub for innovative, career-building entertainment, where creators can get the recognition—and opportunities—they deserve.

DISTRIBUTION: The Key to Industry Growth in Texas

Without monetizing content through effective distribution, the entertainment industry in Texas cannot achieve its full potential. Our Texas Gold Distribution Program is designed to change that by unlocking the value of dormant content from independent producers.

 

By licensing these untapped assets, we provide creators with a revenue stream that fuels their ability to produce new projects, create jobs, and contribute to a thriving entertainment ecosystem. This innovative approach not only supports local talent but also positions Texas as a powerhouse for original, market-ready content, laying the foundation for sustainable growth in the streaming, television, and film industries.
