About Us
NRT
Entertainment Group (NRTEG) was founded in 2000 by
Mike Alvarez as Mike expanded his music production company
Not Records Tapes (established in 1984) into a multi-faceted
entertainment effort that today includes music, film and television
production. NRTEG is the parent organization of both NRT
Films and Not Records Tapes.
Not Records Tapes
(NRT)
Established
in Austin, Texas in 1984 as one of the nations first all cassette
record companies, the small label quickly produced vinyl product
to critical acclaim. Formed by music producer/musician
Mike Alvarez,
NRT quickly found itself on the world map having produced the
likes of The True Believers (with Alejandro Escovedo), Daniel
Johnston, The Reivers, Roky Erickson and several others.
Mike
Alvarez continues today to produce underground and independent
music artists and continues producing his own music and performing
at major venues in Los Angeles.
Verb
Films
Formed
in 1994, Verb Films began with the development of the
company's first feature film project Reverberation,
the story of Roky Erickson
of The 13th Floor Elevators (note: The 13th Floor Elevators
are regarded as the first psychedelic rock band ever).
Verb Films now has adapted nearly 10 published books and manuscripts
and has converted many publications into screenplays.
In
2000, the company began working on its first Louisiana themed
project, "Anybody Love", the first screenplay adapted
from the integration trilogy of published books and manuscripts
written by Louisiana author Steve Stephens.
Today,
NRTEG works closely with Hollywood producers, private investors
and the State of Louisiana in establishing an entertainment
production infrastructure in the northwest portion of Louisiana.
