GPS - Goldsmith Production Services
Your guide through production.
A film is a plan before it is anything else. Most independent productions lose money in the gap between the script and the plan, on paperwork nobody was assigned to keep. We keep it. That is the whole company. Goldsmith Production Services is an Austin, Texas production services company: producer of record for out-of-state shows shooting in Texas, and flat-fee development work for independent filmmakers anywhere.

What we do on the ground in Texas
Texas Incentive Services
The Texas grant rewards spend and residency. Most shows lose it in the bookkeeping, not the shooting. We build the audit file as the show runs: daily records, resident tracking, vendor documentation.Â
Location Managers
Texas is not one location. It's desert, pine, coast, and four cities that double for somewhere else. We scout, secure, permit and manage the sites your script needs, and we handle the nosy neighbors, the sheriff and the parking.
We know budgets can be tight, so here’s some info that’s light on the bottom line, but heavy on the value.

Our Core Values
White-glove, on purpose
One system, end to end
We don't mark up people
You get a producer on the phone, not a ticket number. Small company, senior people, and no layer between you and the person doing the work.
Everything downstream is built from one breakdown. Change a scene and the schedule, the budget and the resident count all change with it. That is the difference between a system and a folder of documents.
Crew bills at standard rates. We take a placement fee for finding them and running them, and you see both numbers. Nobody here makes money on the spread between what your gaffer costs and what you were told they cost.
