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.
