How to Receive Funding through the NEW Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program
A Special Presentation with Bob Hudgins, Director of the Texas Film Commission
Sponsored by The Houston Film Commission and SWAMP
When: Wednesday, June 10, 2009 @ 7PM
Where: Rice University Media Center, Houston, TX

On April 23, 2009, Governor Rick Perry signed HB 873 which established a new and improved incentive program for the film, media and gaming industries in Texas. This new bill increases the amount of funding productions can receive and lowers the minimum budgetary requirements so that local productions, such as commercials, industrials and even independent films, can apply. Want to learn more?


Join SWAMP and the Houston Film Commission on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 at 7pm at Rice University Media Center for an informational meeting with Bob Hudgins, Director of the Texas Film Commission. Bob will discuss the new incentive program with local producers and answer questions about how to apply.

Reception following the meeting in the Rice Gallery. Please rsvp via email at swamp@swamp.org or call us at 713-522-8592 x 2.
