Excellent Event At Mother Egan's

Screen Door Film joined forces with the Texas Association of Film and Tape Professionals (TAF/TP) and packed the porch at Mother Egan’s on Thursday, 9/14 as we hosted a film industry mixer. Nearly 200 people came out to hear the latest from the Texas Motion Picture Alliance (TXMPA,) the upcoming City Bond election vote for Prop 4, and how Screen Door Film and the TAF/TP are all working together to keep Texas’ film industry robust.

Our list of speakers included:
Bob Hudgins – Texas Film Commissioner
Rebecca Campbell – Executive Director, Austin Film Society
Chuck Hatcher – Director, Texas Association of Film and Tape Professionals
Craig Berlin – Treasurer, TXMPA and owner of Pro-Tape

The Texas Motion Picture Alliance serves as an advocate for film, video, interactive, and digital media production professionals and represents those citizens before legislative, regulatory, and judicial bodies. The TXMPA seeks to lobby State Congress for incentives that will directly promote film and media production in Texas.

The TXMPA (www.txmpa.org) intends to accomplish this via funded legislative means as a result of the combined efforts of all participants in the TXMPA. The potential gains to be realized by the Texas economy in establishing such incentives will amount to hundreds of millions of dollars and their impact will touch virtually every sector of business within the state.

Prop 4 is part of the upcoming City of Austin Bond election, and seeks to provide $5 million to outfit the soundstages at Austin Studios with such modern conveniences as AIR CONDITIONING.

The TAF/TP was represented by Austin Rep, Suzanne Koneful. The TAF/TP serves as a connecting point for film and commercial production professionals. Their industry guidebook is the bible for production personnel in the State of Texas. For more info, visit www.shoottexas.org.

Joining Screen Door and the TAF/TP was the Austin Film Guerilla. The AFG collects and posts the latest cast and crew calls in Austin, providing valuable data for actors and crew personnel who are looking for their next opportunity.
