Brayden Garcia has been appointed as the new entertainment reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, shifting his focus to full-time coverage of film and television production in the region. Fort Worth is located approximately 31 miles west of Dallas.
Garcia joined the newspaper in 2022, initially working on the service journalism team. During his four years with the publication, he reported on weather updates, road closures, restaurant openings, and legal explanations. He also occasionally wrote about celebrity sightings and news related to creator Taylor Sheridan.
As production activity increased in the area, Garcia began covering television series such as "Landman" and "Lioness." He stated that the growth of film and television production in Fort Worth prompted his move to a dedicated entertainment beat.
In his new role, Garcia will cover all aspects of regional entertainment, extending beyond Fort Worth to include the broader North Texas area. His reporting will include details on current filming locations, traffic impacts caused by production, casting opportunities, and interviews with celebrities. He also plans to examine how production activity affects local businesses.
Garcia indicated that his coverage will include projects of all budget sizes, from major studio productions to small independent films created by local filmmakers in North Texas. He invited readers, filmmakers, and the general public to submit story ideas or tips via email at bgarcia@star-telegram.com or through a form on the newspaper's website.
