In this powerful episode of The Chris & Sandy Show, we sit down with filmmaker, entrepreneur, and Hollywood visionary Stephanie Garvin, the Founder and CEO of Hollywood Expansion Corporation (HEC) — a company dedicated to transforming how movies are made, funded, and delivered.

Stephanie opens up about her bold leap from finance into filmmaking, her mission to support creators through better infrastructure, and the heart behind her newest projects including Maserati: The Brothers, Ethan Almighty, Glamma Goes to Hollywood, and Bugatti.

This is a warm, insightful, and deeply human conversation that goes far beyond film.

• The real story behind “Maserati: The Brothers”

What the film is truly about, the family legacy behind the Maserati brand, and what surprised her most while developing it.

• How Hollywood Expansion Corporation is redefining filmmaking

Stephanie breaks down why HEC was created, what problems it solves, and how it gives filmmakers more control and smarter financial strategies.

• The influence of AI on the entertainment world

She shares what she loves about AI, what scares her, and why creatives must protect their intellectual property.

Including Ahead With Horses (supporting autistic children and people with disabilities) and the Tim Tebow Foundation.

Tank, Ziggy, and Teddy — and the emotional story behind Tank’s final years.

• The moment she knew filmmaking was her calling

A life-altering pneumonia experience that shifted everything.

• Her passion for family-centered storytelling

And why keeping families connected is at the core of her mission.

Our 13-year-old co host jumps in with fun, spontaneous questions about food, life experiences, dream actors, and the coolest parts of her journey — creating some of the episode’s most genuine moments.

This conversation is loaded with wisdom for:

• Filmmakers
• Writers

• Anyone who wants to pursue their calling

Stephanie’s story is filled with resilience, faith, humility, and innovation. She shows what’s possible when passion meets purpose — and when someone refuses to settle for the old way of doing things.

North Nashville native Bizz Bigsby (born Wendell Bigsby) joins us on The Chris & Sandy Show to share his powerful story of pain, perseverance, and purpose.

🌹 Why he calls his music a “rose in the concrete”

🔥 The making of Here In This Town and what fans can expect from the album
