Anthony Henslee grew up on his family’s cattle ranch in Texas. Although ranching was a way of life, there was nothing he enjoyed more than going to the movies and westerns, of course, were his favorite. After moving to San Antonio in the mid 80’s, the family started a small production company, Henslee Productions, shooting TV commercials for local businesses. During the 20-plus years the company has been in operation, Anthony has had the opportunity to hone his writing, directing and editing skills with the production of over 200 commercials that have been televised locally, regionally, and nationally. Anthony has produced spots for Blue Bell Creameries, Sea World, Animal Planet and many more. As the business grew, the aspirations for producing movies grew as well and in 2004 Anthony started writing the screenplay for his first movie and created Cottonwood Entertainment. With the help of business associates, friends and family Anthony’s dream was realized with the production of PALO PINTO GOLD.
