Austin's Film Industry Tops the Charts Again
Austin's one of the top film locations in the country so it's no surprise that the latest issue of MovieMaker magazine names Austin as number three in its annual ranking of the “Top Ten U.S. Cities to Live and Make Movies.”“So much of Austin’s reputation as a world-renowned moviemaking capital has to do with the unique education and support that the community fosters through film festivals, special screenings, retrospectives and even contests,” says MovieMaker.
Other cities ranking among the top ten include, in order: (1) New York, (2) Philadelphia, (4) Albuquerque, (5) Las Vegas, (6) Shreveport-Bossier City, (7) Memphis, (8) Miami, (9) Portland and (10) Salt Lake City. Austin ranked second to New York in the past two years.
Just what's been filming in Austin lately? Production wrapped on more than 22 feature films in 2006, including Fast Food Nation, The Hitcher, Teeth, GrindHouse and Gary the Tennis Coach, as well as NBC’s television series Friday Night Lights.
