Space City Films was founded as HavCam Productions in 1986 while owner Marc Havican was working as the Video Assistant on Jerry Glanville's staff for the Houston Oilers Football Club.

 

When a friend of Glanville's mentioned that he wanted a marketing video for his company, Texas Tempered Glass, coach Glanville asked his new video assistant if he would be interested in the job, and HavCam Productions was born. Marc left his full-time position with the Oilers in 1987 to try his hand at freelancing and building his newly-formed company. He continued working for the Oilers on game days, however, and worked as Houston's Instant Replay technician until the Oilers moved to Nashville.

 

At that time the company's primary focus was marketing and public relations support for both the Oilers and several small businesses in the Houston area. From 1987-89, HavCam Productions broadened into safety and training productions for Howell Training, Dow Chemical, Shell Oil, and the American Petroleum Institute. Marc also began working several days a week for the Houston NBC affiliate, KPRC-TV.

 

In 1989, Marc fulfilled a lifelong dream when he was hired as a Producer/Director for Taft Broadcasting Company and NASA at the Johnson Space Center. HavCam Productions took a back seat while he immersed himself in the wonder and excitement of human spaceflight. While a producer at JSC, Marc and his talented coworkers in the NASA production department began to gain national recognition as one of the finest production groups in the country.

In 1992, HavCam Productions began adding new clients and provided freelance production services for the Houston Rockets, John Crowe Productions, and various events and musical concerts at the Houston Summit. In 1993, HavCam created a music video for the Derrick Dolls, the official dance team of the Houston Oilers.

 

 

Marc continued to produce and direct high-profile, award-winning projects for NASA, including the U.S. Russia Space Cooperation Documentary, which was produced for President Clinton's visit to Russia for the U.S./Russia Summit in January, 1994. Later that year, HavCam Productions was hired by the Boeing Company to produce Space Station: It's About Life on Earth and provided live television production services to support Hill and Knowlton's Executive Media Training.

Marc left NASA in May 1995 to build HavCam Productions into the finest mulitmedia and event

production company in the Clear Lake area, changing the name of the company to HavCam Digital Productions. HavCam quickly gained a reputation for producing marketing, public relations, training, educational, and entertainment programming of extraordinary quality for Houston businesses and corporations, as well as NASA and its contractors.

 

The company was incorporated and re-branded in 2001 as Space City Films, Inc., and has continued to grow at a rapid pace. Today Space City Films serves clients in a wide variety of businesses and industries, from aerospace to professional sports, as well as technology companies, new media, television networks, and Fortune 500 companies.
