IMPORTANT!!!
The Texas Film Incentive Program
(House Bill 873) is now in place, thanks to the
tireless efforts of
past Texas
Film Commission Director Bob
Hudgins and
current
Texas Film Commission Director Evan Fitzmaurice (http://www.governor.state.tx.us/film), TX
State Rep Dawnna Dukes (http://www.house.state.tx.us/members/dist46/dukes.php), the all-important
TXMPA,
and thousands of people across the state!
On December 16, 2010, Gov. Rick
Perry named
Evan Fitzmaurice as Interim Director of Texas Film
Commission, and we welcome Mr. Fitzmaurice onboard! Funding for
the current TX Film Incentive Program (funded during the 2011 TX Legislative
Session) is now $30 million. Still, we in the film, TV, gaming, and
associated industries need to join
TXMPA,
as the battle for renewed funding will begin again concerning the legislative session in 2013. All hands
onboard!
