SXSW 2025
The Future of TV & Film Production in the Lone Star State
Description:
There's much ado about tech's migration to Austin, but the continued rise of filmmaking and production in Texas is a transformational tale all its own. Local players and Hollywood heavy hitters alike are creating a storytelling boom that takes advantage of Texas' iconic aesthetic and artistic tradition, all buoyed by tax incentives, better infrastructure and new studios, and a budget-minded market. What do the next 5-10 years hold and how can Texans and transplants facilitate the best future for production in the Lone Star State? This panel features local leaders unpacking it all.
