Celebrating 25 years of SPY KIDS!
25 years ago, the world met the Cortez family.
Spy Kids was made right here in Austin — part of a movement that proved world-class filmmaking doesn’t have to come from L.A.

That spirit still lives here.

We’re proud to carry forward the legacy of bold, independent storytelling.

Shot right in Texas.
Built with heart.
Made with family.
