Louisiana-based film transportation equipment company Base Craft LLC announced the acquisition of Hollywood Trucks LLC. Base Craft, founded in Los Angeles in 2001, had established its New Orleans-area headquarters in 2006 and expanded operations to Atlanta and Charleston.
Hollywood Trucks, founded in 2007 with the goal of providing eco-friendly transportation equipment and logistics, had maintained exclusive studio relationships in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Georgia with a fleet of over 200 units. The company also created the industry's first talent trailer fully powered by clean energy — the Ecoluxe line.
The acquisition included the assimilation of many Hollywood Trucks team members and expanded the Base Craft fleet to more than 450 production vehicles.

Hollywood Trucks formalized its relationship with Second Line Stages, the state-of-the-art, LEED Silver-compliant film studio located in New Orleans' Lower Garden District. The partnership made Hollywood Trucks an exclusive transportation provider at one of the city's premier production facilities, home to acclaimed productions including "Django Unchained," "The Butler," "American Horror Story," and "21 Jump Street."
CEO Andre Champagne described the partnership as a natural fit. Hollywood Trucks had previously partnered with Second Line Stages on sustainability initiatives, including being the first fleet to commit to using B5 biodiesel blend. "We believe that the future lies in renewable and sustainable resources," Champagne noted.
The deal added Second Line Stages to Hollywood Trucks' growing portfolio of exclusive studio relationships, alongside Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Georgia and Mississippi Film Studios. At the time, the company maintained a fleet of 400 vehicles used for what Champagne described as "98 percent of the movies and TV productions being filmed" in Louisiana.

Hollywood Trucks announced it would establish a presence at the 43,000-square-foot Mississippi Film Studios in Canton, Mississippi, home to a sound studio and production offices on a six-acre campus. The deal represented Hollywood Trucks' second state expansion in 2014, following its exclusive five-year contract with Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Georgia.
Rick Moore of Mississippi Film Studios called the new partnerships "a real game changer for Mississippi film making." Moore said that when he took over Mississippi Film Studios, one of his major goals was to help Mississippi improve its film production infrastructure.
At the time, Hollywood Trucks operated a 400-unit fleet of more than 40 types of trucks, trailers, and specialty production equipment. The entire fleet, including the Ecoluxe trailers, would be available at Mississippi Film Studios. Direct spending by productions filming in the state was between $70 million and $80 million in 2014.

Hollywood Trucks, the nation's fastest-growing entertainment transportation provider, launched Ecoluxe — the world's first line of luxury talent trailers fueled by 100 percent clean power. Designed under the direction of CEO Andre Champagne and a team of industry professionals, Ecoluxe incorporated contemporary design with cutting-edge technology.
The Ecoluxe line was powered by a patent-pending clean energy system comprised of an advanced combination of solar and thermal technologies. A hybrid backup generator approved to use B20 biodiesel or ultra-clean, renewable synthetic diesel served as emergency backup. The interior featured energy-efficient Samsung 3-D flat-screen smart TVs, Apple iMacs, Nest detectors, and high-speed wireless internet controllable from a smart device.
Beta versions had already been used by Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock, Will Ferrell, Kevin Hart, Bruno Mars, Ryan Reynolds, Ben Affleck, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Chris Rock, and the casts of FX's "American Horror Story" and 20th Century Fox's "Fantastic Four." Hollywood Trucks was named to the Inc. 500|5000 in 2012 as one of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.

Forbes
Forbes profiled the growing ecosystem of Louisiana-based businesses sustaining the state's film industry, known as "Hollywood South." Louisiana had shown unprecedented growth in film production, putting the Southern state in competition with California and New York — states that had long dominated the industry.
Among the businesses profiled was Hollywood Trucks, founded by Louisiana native Andre Champagne, who started the company in 2007 with $100,000, one employee, five vans, and two stake-bed trucks. The company had since grown to a fleet of more than 300 vehicles and $5 million in annual revenue. Champagne said his company had a hand in "95% of all films made in the state."
The article explored how Louisiana's motion picture tax credit program — which helped the state top Film L.A.'s Feature Film Production Study as the number one location for filming — was creating a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. From 2002 to 2012, the industry created more than 14,000 jobs in Louisiana.

Since its founding in October 2007, Hollywood Trucks had supplied transportation for 600 film and TV-related projects, growing from seven vehicles to a fleet of more than 400 trucks, trailers, and specialty production vehicles.

Hollywood Trucks was following the trail of state film tax incentives to fuel its rapid expansion beyond Louisiana. Andre Champagne, who launched the company in 2007 with assistance through Louisiana's state tax incentive program after returning from Los Angeles, had built annual revenue from about $600,000 in its first year to $5 million by 2013.
The fleet had expanded from seven vehicles to more than 300, including the luxury Ecoluxe trailers used by A-list talent. The company had recently expanded to Georgia and had plans to open in London through a partnership with Pinewood Studios' parent company. Champagne said record numbers of films and television series "enabled companies like Hollywood Trucks to partner and innovate."
Will French, president of the Louisiana Film and Entertainment Association, noted: "Now we represent about 14,000 jobs, up from roughly zero 10 years ago." The growing confidence among producers about the incentive program's future was driving further investment in local infrastructure companies like Hollywood Trucks.

225 Magazine took readers inside Hollywood Trucks' revolutionary Ecoluxe trailer, used by the cast of 20th Century Fox's "Fantastic Four" filming in Baton Rouge. Founder and managing partner Andre Champagne oversaw the design of the high-tech trailer, which featured recycled aluminum doors replacing traditional RV-style construction, giving the Ecoluxe an eco-friendly, ultra-contemporary look.
The sophisticated interior was designed by noted southern interior decorator Ann Carter. Energy-efficient, low-voltage LED lighting illuminated countertops made entirely from post-consumer recycled plastics. A huge wraparound couch covered in eco-friendly fabric faced massive mirrored walls, with iPads, iMacs, flat-screen Samsung Smart TVs, and high-speed internet in every room.
Beta versions had already been used by stars including Brad Pitt — who was the first actor to use the trailer, showcased at his Make It Right Gala — Sandra Bullock, Bruno Mars, Ryan Reynolds, Ben Affleck, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, and the entire cast of FX's "American Horror Story."
