Overview
- Levi left Los Angeles after buying a 75‑acre ranch outside Austin in 2017 and has spent years developing the Wyldwood Studios concept on that property.
- Levi describes Wyldwood as a roughly $100 million, multi‑phase film and lifestyle campus that would include soundstages, production offices, housing, a school and an organic farm, but most details come from his interview and remain developing.
- He says the first two soundstages are slated to open in 2027, a timeline that has not yet been independently confirmed.
- Levi frames the project as a mission‑driven effort, saying he felt 'very compelled by God' to build a United Artists–style, artist‑owned model that cuts out middlemen and builds community.
- The plan fits a wider move of productions out of Los Angeles to states like Texas but will still need permits, financing and tenant commitments to succeed and could change where crews live and work if realized.
