The Texas Film Commission has long understood the fundamental importance of the Digital Media industries to Texas media production as a whole. Today, we build upon that foundation to mark the beginning of a brand new chapter for our office and the industries we serve—starting with this very first Digital Media newsletter! We are incredibly excited to announce several new and updated Digital Media resources for our animation, VFX (visual effects), video game, and XR (extended reality) industries here in the Lone Star State. Click the button below to find out more and stay tuned throughout 2024 for even more announcements!
Similar to Film Friendly Texas, we are thrilled to formally announce the Digital Media Friendly Texas (DMFTX) Certified Community Program! Communities now have yet another tool to attract the media production industries to every corner of the state. Whether you are in a major metropolitan city or a small rural town, if your community has a passion for the innovative media production industries, the DMFTX program is perfect for you. Our first official DMFTX community workshop will be at the Film Friendly Forum in New Braunfels on May 16th—another reason to register your community today! We eagerly await answering your questions about the program and creating a network of forward-looking communities! |
