Fort Worth<\/p>\n

One of my earliest moviegoing memories is nearly jumping out of my seat at the sight of Doctor Octopus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was 2004 and the second installment in Sam Raimi\u2019s \u201cSpider-Man\u201d trilogy was swinging into theaters. Only 8 years old at the time, I somehow convinced my dad to take me to a showing of the film that pit Spidey against that dastardly Doc Ock.<\/p>\n

Now, I can\u2019t remember exactly which scene made me so scared that my dad asked if we needed to leave, but that feeling of pure terror was felt sometime (or multiple times) over the film\u2019s 127 minutes.<\/p>\n

That feeling sparked a love affair with the silver screen, one I haven\u2019t been able to shake in the over two decades since. It\u2019s something I\u2019ve carried into my work here at the Star-Telegram, however, I can\u2019t say that was my original intention when I started here back in 2022.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfac In case you missed it: <\/p>\n

For the last four years, I\u2019ve been on the service journalism team, covering everything from weather and road closures to restaurant news and law explainers.<\/p>\n

In that time, I also dabbled in the occasional entertainment story about a celebrity sighting or Taylor Sheridan-related news bit. But as time went on, and as Sheridan planted his television empire flag in Cowtown, I was writing about shows like \u201cLandman\u201d<\/a> and \u201cLioness\u201d<\/a> in no time.<\/p>\n

As film and television production<\/a> continues to explode in Fort Worth, I\u2019m excited to announce that I\u2019ll be covering that beat full-time as the Star-Telegram\u2019s new entertainment reporter.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Brayden Brayden Garcia is the new Entertainment Reporter at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Elvis Martinez-Cartagena elvis.martinezcartagena@star-telegram.com What will I cover?<\/p>\n

Anything and everything related to entertainment in the region, not just Fort Worth.<\/p>\n

That could be what\u2019s currently filming in town, what roads will be impacted by production, how to be cast in a show, interviews with celebrities and how activity is affecting local businesses.<\/p>\n

As much as I\u2019m interested in the big ticket productions, I\u2019m also curious about the smaller projects made by local filmmakers in their backyard \u2014 no matter if it costs $100 million or $100, if it\u2019s made in North Texas, it\u2019s all fair game.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also open to hearing from readers on what they would like to see covered in this great big state of ours. As long as there\u2019s some kind of Fort Worth or Texas connection, I will put it on the board.<\/p>\n

Readers, filmmakers or really anyone who has an internet connection can email me at bgarcia@star-telegram.com<\/a>. Or, fill out the form below.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking forward to this new role and all of its possibilities. I\u2019ll see you at the movies.<\/p>\n
