Texas Film Commission
Heather Page
  
introduction by Lion Jim Overton

The Texas Film Commission (TFC) was created in 1971 by Texas Governor Preston Smith, who found that it was, “in the social, economic and educational interest of Texas to encourage the development of the film-communication industry,” and that “Texas has a uniquely vast array of resources, natural, human and economic, which lend themselves to the firm and orderly development of a healthy film production industry.” 

Since then, the TFC has expanded to include the film, television, commercial, video game and animation industries, maintaining the state’s competitive position worldwide as a production destination.
