Join me, Jazzy T, as I sit down with someone I trust both in business and in life — my husband and co-host, RJ Williams, a seasoned expert in government contracting and procurement.

  • Business of Making Movies with Kendrick Foxx, FLX Studios

    Business of Making Movies with Kendrick Foxx, FLX Studios
    2025/07/17
    Ep. 7 🎬 Hollywood’s calling — will your business pick up? Filmmaker Kendrick Foxx moved to Rochester, NY, to build more than movies — he’s building momentum for local businesses. In this episode of Elevating Enterprise, Kendrick shares how small businesses — from caterers and cleaners to stylists and shuttle drivers — can plug directly into the multi-billion dollar film industry. With New York’s new tax incentives and the launch of FLX Studios across from RIT, Rochester is poised to become the East Coast’s next production hotspot. 📌 What’s in it for your business? If you’ve got a service, there’s a crew that needs it. Kendrick breaks down exactly how entrepreneurs can get ready — and why now is the time to show Hollywood what Rochester can do. 🎯 3 Key Takeaways: Film crews hire local — if you're set-ready, you're on the list. Pre-production is where the battle is won. Planning saves money and earns trust. Rochester has the talent, the terrain, and the tax breaks to attract big-budget films. 💬 Notable Quotes: “If you’ve got a service — food, wardrobe, security, cleaning, whatever — there’s a film set somewhere that needs it. You just have to be ready.” “I know you want to be the star or the director — but if you can get on set as an extra, you can literally rub elbows with the person who gives you your next opportunity.” - Jazzy T “The battle of production is won in pre-production. If you plan for the landmines you can see, the ones you can’t won’t be as deadly.” - Kendrick 🎞️ About Kendrick Foxx:Kendrick Foxx is a seasoned film producer and President of Entertainment at FLX Studios in Rochester, NY.
