FIlm/TV industries look for a massive bump in the state's production rebate program.
. After filming four seasons in Austin, the show relocated to Georgia because Texas' production incentives dried up. The Texas Motion Picture Association warns that more shows will leave without a massive funding boost.
In mid-January, the Texas Media Production Alliance held a sit-down meeting of industry players, and they all came out on the same page. TXMPA Communications Director Mindy Raymond said,"We all want the same thing. We want to bring more jobs to Texas." That's where TXMPA leadership is making their argument for a big increase. Raymond said,"We've been beating the drum long enough that this is a jobs program, it's not a culture war," and that's being reflected in the lobbyists being hired, like Mike Toomey, former chief of staff to Gov. Rick Perry, who is representing the massive planned Hill Country Studios in San Marcos.
