Anthony Cortes
Founder & CEO of Motion Flix
Anthony Cortes is an entrepreneur and the Founder & CEO of Motion Flix, an experiential entertainment company creating outdoor cinema, community events and shared social experiences.
My Story
Anthony’s entrepreneurial journey began at 24 when he co-founded Trend Studios, his first business, with partners in Orlando, Florida. The full-service salon business grew to three locations within four years. Alongside the salons, he produced fashion shows and community events, discovering a passion for bringing people together. After the pandemic forced the salons to close, he co-founded Motion Flix in 2020, carrying that focus on service and shared experiences into outdoor entertainment.
Anthony Cortes leads Motion Flix with a focus on creating experiences that bring people together. Founded in 2020, Motion Flix turns backyards, residential communities and public spaces into places to gather, watch and connect.
His approach combines thoughtful event design, personal service and an entrepreneurial mindset. Through interviews and podcast appearances, Anthony shares lessons on building an experience-based business and growing without losing the details that make each event special.
