TriCoast Advanced Technology Studios Launches Global AI Feature Film Production Company Targeting 35 Features Per Year

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TriCoast Advanced Technology Studios, Inc. (“TriCoast ATS” or the “Company”) today announced that its management team will attend the American Film Market 2026 (“AFM 2026”), taking place November 10–15, 2026 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, following the recent launch of the Company’s global AI-driven feature film production studio. TriCoast ATS leverages generative AI, transparent workflows and an integrated global distribution network to move from concept to finished film, generally in a matter of weeks once fully optimized, at an average production cost of $500,000, a fraction of the cost of traditional film production. The Company’s output will be commercialized globally through TriCoast Worldwide, its affiliated international distribution arm, which currently distributes over 7,000 films to more than 9,000 buyers internationally and to millions of consumers streaming directly on all major platforms.

TriCoast ATS was formed by a team of veteran film industry and capital markets executives in response to a clear industry reality: the traditional Hollywood studio system is no longer economically sustainable. Decades of rising studio overhead and inflated domestic budgets have accelerated the decline of a largely unchanged model, creating space for more agile, technology-driven and highly experienced competitors.

“The traditional Hollywood studio system is under significant pressure, and TriCoast ATS was built to capitalize on that disruption by combining advanced technology with experienced creative, production and distribution teams,” stated Co-CEO Marcy Levitas Hamilton. “Having just launched the studio, we are excited to bring our next-generation studio model to AFM 2026. There is no better place to introduce TriCoast ATS to the global community of filmmakers, buyers and financiers who will help shape our first slate.”

Strathford Hamilton, President, stated, “Every feature produced by TriCoast Advanced Technology Studios is a hybrid AI production developed within the framework of ‘HITL,’ or Human-in-the-Loop, where human writers, directors, performers and supervisors actively guide, refine and approve all AI-generated creative outputs to ensure authorship, artistic integrity and copyright eligibility. We look forward to sitting down with directors and writers at AFM 2026 who want to bring their stories to the screen with that level of creative control, at a speed and cost the old system cannot match.”

Co-CEO A.J. Cervantes, Jr. added: “We are creating a powerful AI-driven global studio that reflects the current and future state of the industry rather than its dinosauric past. By combining next-generation financial architecture with AI production tools and disciplined, transparent financial management, we are establishing a framework that can support a potential output of an unprecedented 35+ films per year once fully operational.”

TriCoast ATS combines AI-enabled production efficiency with a powerful global distribution engine, creating a vertically integrated model intended to deliver accelerated cash flow, durable long-tail revenue and library value. Without significant capital expenditure for technology development, the Company can produce a commercial feature film in a matter of weeks for budgets ranging from $100,000 to $1 million, as little as 5% to 10% of the traditional $5 million to $15 million budget, and in a fraction of the traditional 12-to-18-month timeline. While human talent remains essential, modern AI production technology dramatically accelerates speed-to-market.

While mergers and strikes have disrupted production and driven some of it out of the country, TriCoast ATS plans not only to bring production back in a cost-effective way but also to put the entertainment industry back in the hands of independent filmmakers, who for too long have been unable to bring their own ideas to life. TriCoast ATS will make those ideas producible.

The management team of TriCoast ATS will be available throughout AFM 2026 to meet with interested parties, including potential directors, writers and financiers, regarding the Company’s upcoming slate of feature films, which it expects to finalize and announce, along with its technology partners and global production hubs, in the coming weeks. The TriCoast ATS management team will be at the Fairmont Century Plaza, Suite 524, which is available to badge holders of the AFM 2026 event only. Interested parties can schedule a time to meet with management by contacting media@tricoaststudios.ai or 1‑844‑TriCoast.
