Tytan Pictures representatives on Jan. 13, 2026 presented a video and a PowerPoint titled "Putnam County Storytelling Strategy" to the Putnam Development Authority. CEO Jim Stone, Director of Photography Brad Kremer and Studio Manager Katie Hopwood described prior work for the county and said Tytan has produced 20 short films with an additional 10 in production.
Stone requested to withdraw the company's contract proposal dated Dec. 12, 2025 and said he expected to provide a revised proposal within about a week. The board made no decision on the presentation during the meeting; the PowerPoint and video were made part of the minutes.
The presentation was received as part of the authority's marketing and branding work outlined in the economic development director's report. Economic Development Director Matt Poyner had included marketing and project status among ongoing items in his report to the board. No public comments or objections to the proposal are recorded in the minutes.
Next steps recorded in the minutes indicate a revised proposal from Tytan Pictures may be submitted soon, at which point the board may place the item on a future agenda for action.
