The partnership between the lm commission and TCC led to the rst-ever lm collaborative graduation Sept. 2 at TCC’s campus in Hurst. The ceremony had 26 students honored for completing four- or six-month certicate programs.

The program was created in part due to demand for crew members to support the growing number of television shows and movies lmed in North Texas. Buoyed by the success of producer Taylor Sheridan with “Yellowstone,” more productions are being lmed in the Fort Worth area.

Tarrant County College and the Fort Worth Film Commission have teamed up to launch the Fort Worth Film Collaborative, a certication program designed to train the next wave of behind-the- scenes talent.

TCC sees 4% enrollment increase from 2024 Tarrant County College has seen a 4.31% year- over-year increase in enrollment from the 2024 fall semester. The overview TCC has 49,393 students enrolled for the fall 2025 semester, according to a news release from the college. Student enrollment is counted from the 12th class day of the semester, Sept. 10, for 2025. While the fall 2025 semester has more students than the previous year, Tarrant County College saw a higher percentage of growth from 2023 to 2024. “Growth seen in prior fall terms was driven more by increases in dual enrolled students, whereas growth from fall 2024 to fall 2025 was driven more by an increase in non-dual enrolled students,” Holly Stovall, the executive director of

UNT partners with colleges for workforce The University of North Texas and several other North Texas education providers, including Texas Woman’s University and Collin College, have partnered to create the Texas Talent Accelerator. In a nutshell The accelerator, which was announced during a Sept. 4 panel event at UNT’s Frisco Campus, aims to meet labor demands in the growing North Texas economy, UNT President Harrison Keller said. Keller said current labor market data is abstract and too slow to integrate into curriculum design and the accelerator will work with local employers to understand what training and education is needed for new hires and college graduates.

What they’re saying

What’s next

Filming at SGS Studios started in March with the second season of “Landman.” Construction is currently ongoing to expand the production space in the Alliance area, with more than $4 million in projects going on at 2601 Spirit Drive and 2701 Spirit Drive. These studios feature additional sound stages, post-production suites, vendor support and scalable infrastructure designed to attract top- tier productions and long-term tenants, according to a Hillwood news release. Hillwood is a real estate development company. This year the Texas Legislature approved Senate Bill 22, which invested $1.5 billion in Texas film incentives and took effect Sept. 1. To receive the incentives, producers need to have a certain number of Texans actually on set. “We are building something permanent that will be the centerpiece for one of the most state-of- the-art studios in the business,” Sheridan said in an Aug. 13 news release from Hillwood.

GCISD officials hire appraiser, approve planning committee The Grapevine-Colleyville ISD board of trustees hired an appraiser for district property and approved a new planning committee at an Aug. 25 meeting. The gist Trustees budgeted $20,000 for an appraiser to determine the market price for the Heritage Annex located near Hall-John- son Road in Grapevine. The approved committee will look into recommendations to reduce facility and program costs or increase district revenue. Some ideas under consideration include selling the annex, consolidating elementary schools and expanding a program for gifted students to a stand-alone campus.

“We're looking at our kids that work hard, make good grades, but due to extenuating circumstances [or] test anxiety, they are worried about college admissions,” Gina Peddy, executive director of curriculum and instruction said. “[Automatic college acceptance] takes some of the stress and the pressure off.” Some scholarships may still require test scores, Peddy said.

The program, which comes at no cost to the district, waives application fees and certain test requirements for students, district officials said.

The Brunch District in Colleyville oers breakfast favorites

The rst location of the Brunch District is the busiest of its three North Texas locations, Manager Kevin Kim said. “It’s our baby,” Kim said. “We do care about this one, naturally, the most.” The Brunch District is a family-owned breakfast and lunch restaurant that opened its rst location in Colleyville in 2023. What’s on the menu The Brunch District has breakfast items like omelettes, skillets, eggs Benedict and sandwiches. It also oers Tex-Mex dishes like migas and chilaquiles as well as Southern-inspired dishes like grits and biscuits with gravy. Kim said the restaurant also oers seasonal items for the holidays. “October will mainly focus on pumpkin pancakes, cinnamon white hot chocolate and a Captain Crunch smoothie for the kids,” he said. A family aair Kim said his dad, a co-owner of the Colleyville location, chose the spot because of its unique scenery. Kim, his parents and his ancée work together to run the location. He said the restaurant sets itself apart from other places with its customer service. “This is a customer service industry, so it’s the most important thing,” he said. “Being such a family-oriented restaurant, we have a good work culture and that’s important to us.”

The Cajun waffles ($15) at the Brunch District are served up with breaded chicken and is topped with caramel sauce, grapes and powdered sugar.
