SPEAKER: Todd McMullen - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0573347/ 

We are deeply grateful to Bob Hudgins (Texas Film Commission) for updating us about what needs to be done in the upcoming legislative session to keep the Texas film incentive package alive and growing. The Texas Motion Picture Alliance (TXMPA -- www.txmpa.org) and Bob's leadership have been critical in getting the incentive package passed, but we face another hurdle: getting it passed again and hopefully with greater incentives. Get involved and help keep this industry alive in Texas. We snooze, we lose!

Our guest speaker at our Wednesday July 30 Mixer will be Todd McMullen. Todd has numerous credits and he has offered to update us on FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS and his role as a cinematographer in the series and in other past projects. Todd has a wealth of information about all aspect of filmaking and has worked with actors, producers and directors of every kind. You do not want to miss this Mixer. See information about Todd via:  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0573347/
