Texas Providence Connection
About You Connection
You Connection is a Christian 501(c)(3) nonprofit company producing professional film and theatre in Dallas, Texas, founded by Dallas native Matt Kramer in 2013. The organization produces unique and original film and video content for the Christian streaming site YC Web, as well as live theatre presentations in the Dallas metroplex. You Connection is a variant of James 4:8, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." In other words, "you connect to Him, He connects to you."​
About Matt Kramer
Matt Kramer's grandmother was Nell Perry, a direct descendant of Emily Austin Bryan Perry, sister of Stephen F. Austin, the founder of the state of Texas. To this day there is an annual Austin-Bryan-Perry reunion to celebrate this family's extraordinary history and memory.​
​
Matt is the Founder/Director of You Connection, and has worked in television, award-winning videography, church ministry, and the performing arts for over two decades.
​
He is the sole writer and composer of You Connection's repertoire of films, theatre shows, and music. You Connection's streaming site, YC Web, has reached hundreds of thousands of viewers all over the world, and YC theatre shows have been performed regularly for DFW audiences for over a decade, featuring a uniquely powerful fusion of the Gospel, deep theology, and high theatrics.
​
Matt has been a born-again Christian since age 7, and has been a nearly lifelong member of Sojourn Church in Carrollton, Texas. He has lived in Dallas his entire life.
About the Project
Texas Providence Connection is not a company or an organization; it is merely a project launched by You Connection as an extension of its nonprofit activities. While You Connection's goal is to use creativity to communicate the Gospel, the TPC project is a bit different- it's all about Texas.​
​
The goals of Texas Providence are:
​
- to promote, preserve, and share the heritage of Texas, with particular emphasis on the Austin-Bryan-Perry family legacy
​
- to encourage a thriving Christian independent market as Christian Arts and filmmaking continue to grow exponentially in Texas
​
