 It's been hot, hot, hot here in Texas over the past few months, but that hasn't kept us from getting out of the office and hitting the road. Here are just some of the places TFC staffers have found themselves recently:
- Katie Kelly made her way to El Paso to attend the Plaza Classic Film Festival, where she met former El Paso resident F. Murray Abraham.
- Ali Nichols traveled to Marlin, Texas, where she presented the city with their official Film Friendly Texas certification (pictured above).
- Lindsey Ashley took a trip out to sunny Los Angeles, California to take part in the Association of Film Commissioners International Week.
