We’re Tanner Strodtman and Mark Chavez, a nephew-and-uncle team behind South by Midwest Productions. Bonded by a lifelong love for movies, we’ve turned our passion into a mission to create stories that thrill and captivate.

Originally from Missouri, we now call Arizona home, where we launched our first screenplay, Delta Chi Epsilon: FURY. It’s a horror-thriller about college students hunted by a masked killer as a dark secret resurfaces—who’ll survive the deadly ritual? Tanner brings fresh ideas, while Mark adds seasoned insight, making us a dynamic duo fueled by creativity and collaboration.

At Southwest by Midwest Productions, we’re here to craft cinematic experiences that resonate. Thanks for joining us—let’s see where the story takes us!
