Texas has a long lag behind neighboring states when it comes to incentives for attracting film and television production but that may be about to change. The Texas legislature is in session and one of the bills working its way through the house in senate (SB 22) would dramatically increase the amount of film production incentives the state could offer.
Join host Charles Horak with special guest Drew Mayer-Oakes, the El Paso Film and Creative Industries Commissioner. Our guest will give us an update on Texas's film incentives such as the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program and proposed changes.
