Attention Passengers:
Creative Departure Flight 005 is now boarding! ✈️🎬

First up, meet our Flight Art Postcard artist, Hailey Gearo-Chang . If you don’t know her yet, do yourself a favor and follow her now. Hailey is an Austin based abstract expressionist who dips into surrealism, turning mental anguish into candy colored dreamscapes with acrylic and glitter on canvas. Her work has lived at The Carver Museum, The Dougherty Arts Center, Riches Art Gallery, and the San Antonio Airport, to name a few. She has been a friend of ours since some of our very first shows, and her limited-edition postcard is part of what makes this flight special.

This Saturday, July 25, we are launching our first-ever in-flight film-only event at our next gate, Hyperreal Film Club. We are clearing the runway to celebrate a massive win for our good friend and the team behind Hierarchy (2025), the independent Texas action-crime thriller that has been a global streaming hit overseas. Directed by Russell K Reed, written and co-directed by , and executive produced by Xavier Alvarado.

Watch with us, then stay for an intimate post-screening panel with the creators.
