Texas actors Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and others have come together for a video pitch to the Texas Legislature, advocating for increased funding for film incentives in the state. The video, inspired by their roles in “True Detective,” showcases the talent and potential of Texas as a filming destination. The actors highlight the economic benefits that increased funding could bring to the state, suggesting that it could turn Texas into a new Hollywood.
The video features a star-studded lineup of Texan actors and sends a clear message to legislators about the importance of supporting the film industry in Texas. The actors emphasize that every dollar invested in film incentives in Texas generates $4 back into the state’s economy.
The Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has included bills in the legislative session that aim to establish Texas as America’s film capital and revamp the Texas Film Initiative. With $498 million allocated in the budget for the initiative, the actors believe that Texas has the potential to become the movie capital of the world.
In the past, Texas has allocated $200 million in funding for its film incentive program, and now the actors are pushing for increased funding to create more jobs and boost local economies. The video pitch serves as a call to action for the Texas Legislature to support the film industry and take advantage of the opportunities it presents for the state.
