Fort Worth mayor calls for more incentives to boost film industry productions in Texas
SUMMARY: Fort Worth Mayor Maddie Parker is advocating for stronger film production incentives in Texas, aiming to attract filmmakers to the state. Testifying before a senate finance committee, she highlighted Fort Worth’s film industry’s significant impact, reporting $700 million in local revenue since 2015 from successful projects like Taylor Sheridan’s “1883.” Despite its advantages, Texas faces stiff competition from states like Georgia and New Mexico, which offer better incentives. Local talent, including actress Morgana Shaw, emphasizes that without improved incentives, filmmakers often bypass Texas for cheaper options. Parker’s vision seeks to transform Cowtown into a vibrant hub for the film industry.
Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker is leading the charge, saying Texas is being skipped over and left behind by film production companies. She testified before a State Senate finance committee along with A-list actors and industry professionals.
