ELISE HENDRIX
President

Elise Hendrix has worked in the industry since childhood, initially in front of the camera and eventually as the protégé to the late “artist to the stars” Kevyn Aucoin empire, she became a professional in makeup artistry working with renowned Hollywood experts in Los Angeles. She was also responsible for opening the doors at Neiman Marcus to carry the exclusive Kevyn Aucoin cosmetics line and assisted the company’s CEO in training retailers.
Through her travels from Texas to Los Angeles and other cities for work, she noticed that job opportunities within the film industry in her own hometown of Houston were declining. Film production business, which had flourished for nearly 100 years in Texas, was being lured away by other states through production incentives and new facilities. What she felt was lacking in Texas was a sound stage big enough, impressive enough, to attract major film and television projects. Noting the Astrodome would be an ideal facility, she founded a company, Greater Houston Global Management Group, dedicated to transforming the legendary building into a major production studio and sound stage.
