Future Forum | Oct, 15 2025 6:30PM - 8:30PM

Join us for a discussion of the state of Texas film following the passage of groundbreaking new incentive legislation in June. With a $1.5 billion commitment over the next decade, the state is positioned to become a national powerhouse for film, television, and digital media production. We’ll explore what the new incentive program means for Texas creatives, local economies, and the future of storytelling in the state, and how Texas stacks up against other states like Georgia and New Mexico.
