Media For Texas is building the future of media – by Texans, for Texans – through our five core principles. We envision a future where Texas leads the nation in film and media creation and commerce, with projects living their entire lifecycle within our borders. This means shaping global culture while providing opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Texan workers and businesses across every aspect of the industry. Stories won’t only be made here – they’ll be born, developed, produced, and delivered here.

EDUCATIONEvery filmmaker and media professional started somewhere, and we believe higher education institutions are uniquely positioned to set young creatives up for success. We partner with universities, colleges and production companies to provide students with real-world opportunities on set, helping them feel career-ready upon graduation. Our student set placement program launches in 2026, along with our student ambassador program and high school summer camps.
WORKFORCEWe develop and certify the next generation of Texas-based film and media professionals. Through our Media for Texas Institute (MFTi), veteran-focused training programs, and job placement support, we help productions meet incentive requirements while building lasting careers for Texans. Working with industry partners, we’re building a curriculum designed to prepare Texans for lasting, high-paying careers in media. Launching in 2026.
ADVOCACYMedia For Texas was born from advocacy. Our coalition successfully secured a $1.5 billion incentive bill, the largest state investment in Texas film history, and we’re not stopping there. We continue to champion smart policies that sustain long-term media careers, attract world-class productions, and ensure Texas stories are produced here at home.
