The family film Slater's Gold has wrapped production, and it will be the first project from a new studio in Longview, Texas. Deadline reported the news on 11 November 2026.

Justin Long, Katy Mixon Greer and Banks Pierce lead the cast. Kate Wilson, Henry Heffernan, Keith Rushing, Brooke Lyons, Harrison C. Thomas, Todd Terry and Glenn Morshower also appear. Micah Lyons wrote, directed and lead-produced the film. The shoot took place in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The film is produced by Breath of Life Productions, in association with Bleu Bayou Pictures and Aisle7 Post. Bridget Uhles, J.C. Doler and Harrison C. Thomas join Micah Lyons as producers. Keith Rushing is executive producer, and Eric Gibson is line producer.

The project also marks the launch of Lyons Family Studios. The company describes itself as a full-service film and TV studio, with three sound stages and an LED Volume, a room built around large LED screens that can display a scene's background. Its headquarters is in Longview.

Slater's Gold will now be shown privately to potential buyers and sales agents at the American Film Market (AFM) in Los Angeles. Sales agents sell films to cinemas, streaming services and TV channels on behalf of the people who made them. The screenings are a common way for independent films to find distributors before release.

The studio has two more projects on its slate. Lyons Family Studios and Breath of Life Productions will release Stigmas in 2027. The romantic thriller stars Amelie Anstett, Robert Knepper, Mia Fugate, Harrison C. Thomas and Leah Kate. Lyons Family Studios is also developing Lost Girl, based on the story of Rebecca Contreras. The film is financed and is still in development, packaging and casting, with filming set for spring 2027 at the Longview studio.

For a studio opening its doors, the next few months will show whether those plans hold. The AFM screening is the first step for Slater's Gold in finding a buyer. Its release date and distributor have not yet been announced.
