HAYS COUNTY
At the 2024 Film Friendly Texas Forum on May 16, the Governor's Office recognized Anita Collins, Community Program Manager in the Office of the Hays County Judge and Chair of the Hays County Film Advisory Board. The Texas Film Commission awarded Collins with the Community Builder Award.
Collins has worked for County Judge Ruben Becerra for over five years. When she attended the last Film Forum in 2022, she was encouraged to look into creating a Film Advisory Board to support the upcoming Hill Country Studio in San Marcos and the current independent film industry in Hays County. Judge Becerra supported her and named her Chair. Mark-Ryan Magallanez is the Vice-Chair, and Larry Mock is the Secretary of the Film Advisory Board.
