State of Texas Film

The State of Texas Film

Guests joined us for a discussion on 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 was positioned to become a national powerhouse for film, television, and digital media production. The program examined the implications of the new incentive for Texas creatives, local economies, and the future of storytelling in the state, as well as how Texas compares to other states, such as Georgia and New Mexico.

This program is generously sponsored by 26 Keys, BP, and Texas Mutual Insurance Company.
