City Cast Austin

Why Austin’s Actors Are Lobbying the Texas Legislature

Listen Later

They call it “The Texfactor” — maybe it’s the tacos, or the stars at night, or the friendly people — it’s that bit of extra magic that makes people fall in love with shooting movies and TV shows in Texas. But that Texfactor comes at a price, and our incentives to film here aren’t high enough for Texas-set shows like “English Teacher” and “Ransom Canyon” to actually shoot in the Lone Star State. Host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by Chase Musselwhite of Media for Texas, which has joined forces with Austin’s biggest stars to push lawmakers to adopt more lucrative film incentives.
