Hays County Commissioners To Receive Presentation Regarding Hays County, “Film Friendly Texas”
The Hays County Commissioners Court is slated to receive a presentation by the San Marcos Cinema Club to promote Hays County properties as potential film locations.
The San Marcos Cinema Club, in conjunction with the Greater San Marcos Partnership, Main Street, Mermaid Society, San Marcos City Council, the Texas Film Commission and other municipal, county and University groups aims to register 50 Hays County properties in 50 days on the Texas Film Commission’s website as potential sites for television/film production.
The item was sponsored by Hays County Judge Ruben Becerra and Co-Sponsor Mark Jones.
The agenda says, “By enticing the TV/Film industry to Hays County, we have the opportunity to boost our local economy while spotlighting the natural beauty & unique assets our county has to offer.”
Commissioners will consider the adoption of a proclamation recognizing the week of July 13 thru the week of September 2 as the 50 locations in 50 days challenge.
With an emphasis on working with Texas’ rural and suburban communities, the Film Friendly Texas (FFTX) program administered by the Texas Film Commission, Office of the Governor provides ongoing training and guidance to statewide municipal leaders and community representatives on how to effectively market their communities as filming destinations and how to efficiently accommodate on-location filming activity.
Commissioners Court convenes at 9 AM on Tuesday morning on the third floor of the Hays County Historic Courthouse.
