About Us
Second Chance Pictures
Second Chance Pictures is dedicated to producing world-class film and television entertainment. We proudly support the creative artists working everywhere!
Houston-Based Production Company
World-Class Film and Television Entertainment
We offer a range of services to help bring your vision to life. Whether you need a great script, talented actors, expert crews, cutting-edge technology, or stunning visual effects, we've got you covered.
Scripts
We also start with Story. You can make a bad production with a good script but you can never make a good production with a bad script. Don Worley is the lead writer at Second Chance Pictures but Second Chance pictures also accepts script submissions from other writers and has purchased scripts from other writers in the past.
Technical Excellence
We belive technical quality is paramount to quality storytelling. We use only the highest grade cameras, lenses, and microphones to record our source material and we take care to preserve pristine, uncompressed, high dynamic range visuals and audio throught the post production process.
Crews
We hire the best crews available who believe in our projects.
Visual Effects
Seamlees visuals are what we strive for. We are always on the lookout for local companies that can provide high quality effects services for our films.
Actors
All of our projects are SAG signatory. We use a range of casting services throught the state to find actors for our films. Your SAG franchised agent is your best route to submitting for our projects.
Film Incentives
We work with lobbying groups in every state to educate lawmakers on the advantages of a healthy film incentive program. Such programs bring out-of-state financing and allow films financed with local funds to shoot without costing the investors extra money they wouldn't have to spend in other states.
Meet the Producers!
Filmmaking is not a solo art. It requires a team of creative individuals. It is the job of the producers to assemble a team for every project and to ensure that that team works together to create a spectacular product.
Don Worley
Don Worley is a seasoned producer and a SAG actor. He was a standup comic for years appearing at comedy clubs and corporate events around the country. He is also one of the top attorneys in the country and the show “Power of Attorney: Don Worley” is based on Don and his firm. Don is the chief "story teller” in charge of the initial writing or the rewrites of each production at Second Chance Pictures. Don will be appearing in several films and television shows as himself “Attorney Don Worley” slated for production by other studios in 2023.
Mark Baird
Mark Baird is both the line producer and the engener behind every SCP project. His depth of knowedge of all things technical ensures every film looks its best on the screen and meets the exacting standards of the theatres or streaming services where it is exhibited. But Mark also follows the numbers to ensure projects are accurately budgeted and reasonably scheduled. Bringing a production in on time and on budget is a halmark of Second Chance Pictures.
