OUR SERVICES

Complete production catering solutions — from early morning craft services to late-night wrap meals, Film Trucks keeps every production running

Craft Services

The backbone of every production: continuous snack and beverage service available to crew throughout the shooting day. Our craft service trucks stock fresh fruit, energy bars, pastries, hot and cold beverages, sandwiches, healthy snacks, and comfort foods to keep your crew energized from call time to wrap.

  • Fresh produce and snacks updated every 2 hours
  • Hot coffee, espresso, and specialty drinks
  • Dietary accommodations (vegan, gluten-free, kosher)
  • Available for any call time, any location

Catering Meals

Full hot meal service — breakfast, lunch, and dinner — cooked fresh on location. Our catering trucks can serve anything from a 15-person indie short film to a 500+ crew Hollywood feature. Professional caterers prepare restaurant-quality meals with your crew's schedule and dietary needs in mind.

  • Hot meals served buffet or individual style
  • Custom menus tailored to production needs
  • Union meal penalty compliance built in
  • Setup and cleanup included

Mobile Kitchen Trucks

Full kitchen-on-wheels for remote location shoots where base camp is far from civilization. Our mobile kitchen trucks are completely self-contained: commercial cooking equipment, generator power, water storage, and sanitation. Perfect for Texas ranch shoots, desert locations, state parks, and anywhere a permanent kitchen is impossible.

  • Fully self-contained — power, water, waste
  • Commercial kitchen equipment on wheels
  • Operates in extreme Texas heat and cold
  • Scalable — 10 to 1,000+ meals per service

WHO WE SERVE

Film Trucks works with every type of production — from indie student films to major studio features

Feature Films

Full craft services and catering for multi-week and multi-month shoots. We coordinate directly with your production manager and AD to ensure seamless meal service around your shooting schedule. SAG-AFTRA and union meal break compliance is our standard practice.

TV & Streaming

Television and streaming productions need consistent, reliable catering across long seasons. Film Trucks offers ongoing contracts for multi-episode series, adapting to changing locations and crew sizes as your production evolves through its season arc.

Commercials & Music Videos

Short-form productions deserve the same quality catering as features. Our one-day and two-day packages for commercials, music videos, corporate video, and social media content are priced for smaller budgets without sacrificing quality.

Student Films

We love supporting the next generation of filmmakers. Our student film packages offer affordable craft services and basic catering for film school projects at UT Austin, UT San Antonio, Trinity University, and other Texas film programs. Great food makes great crews.

Corporate Production

Corporate video, training films, annual report productions, and marketing content — Film Trucks provides professional catering that matches the professional image your brand requires. Impress your clients and keep your corporate crew productive.

Events & Festivals

Film festivals, industry events, wrap parties, table reads, and premiere screenings — our food trucks and catering services extend beyond the set to all the events that bring the film community together. San Antonio Film Festival catering, ACL Film, and more.

PRODUCTION INDUSTRY NOTE

Texas is one of America's fastest-growing film production states, thanks to generous tax incentives (up to 22.5% production rebate), diverse locations from Houston's urban landscapes to Big Bend's desert terrain, and world-class infrastructure in Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas. Film Trucks has been on the ground supporting this growth since day one.

WHAT PRODUCTIONS SAY

Feature Film

"Film Trucks showed up before our 5am call and had hot food ready when crew arrived. Every day for six weeks, never a miss. Our craft service table was the envy of the entire crew — the art department practically lived there."

— Production Manager, Texas-shot independent feature

Commercial

"We shot a two-day automotive commercial in the Hill Country — very remote, no facilities. Film Trucks brought a full mobile kitchen and served 80 crew members hot meals like we were in a restaurant. Exceptional operation."

— Line Producer, automotive advertising campaign

Music Video

"Student budget, zero margin for error. Film Trucks gave us their small-production package and treated our 25-person crew like we were a studio feature. The catering quality absolutely improved our shoot day."

— Director, music video production
