Last month El Pasoans had a number of movie star sightings in and around downtown as a major Warner Brothers production landed in the city and filmed for weeks. The untitled film is written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and required a lot of coordination to get El Paso on film, and a lot of money was spent on production. On this edition of On Film, host Charles Horak welcomes El Paso’s Film Commissioner Drew Mayer-Oakes to discuss his involvement in this production, big director’s like Paul Thomas Anderson taking an interest in filming big budget films in El Paso, and what goes into the process of attracting and supporting the El Paso Film Industry.
