Why now is a strong moment for an independent, auteur-driven studio like Lockett Pictures.
Los Angeles logged 5,121 on-location shoot days in Q1 2026 — up 10.7% from late 2025 — as California's expanded film & TV tax incentive drew production back home. For a Los Angeles-based studio, that means more crews, locations, and partners within reach. Source: FilmLA Q1 2026 report; industry analysis.
Worldwide spending on films budgeted under $5M climbed from roughly $880M to $1.22B — a strong market for exactly the kind of auteur-driven, independently produced work Lockett Pictures makes. Source: industry analysis.
Creators increasingly reach viewers directly through email lists, memberships, and private screenings, while falling LED-volume rental rates and AI-assisted editing and VFX put studio-grade tools within reach of a small, focused team. Source: industry analysis.
