Senate Bill 22 would create the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Fund, pumping $500 million every two years into a program intended to bring more moviemaking to Texas.

Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson were at the Texas Capitol advocating for SB 22's $500 million Texas film incentives package.

Hollywood A-listers and Texas senators met yesterday to discuss a massive new investment in film and TV production incentives that would break the current program out of its boom-and-bust financing – or, as Matthew McConaughey put it, create a system of “wood screws, not Velcro.”
