Hays County is a film-friendly place. The cities of San Marcos, Kyle, Buda and Dripping Springs have all been certified as Film-Friendly cities and many film productions like “Boyhood,” “The Getaway,” “Tree of Life,” “The Newton Boys,” “Piranha,” “Idiocracy” and more have used the county’s scenery as backdrop to their stories.
But now Hays County, in partnership with the San Marcos Cinema Club, is pushing to become even more film-friendly with a county-wide initiative that aims to beef up the Texas Film Commission website with dozens of new options for film production crews to shoot and serious potential to boost the local economy.
“By enticing the TV/film industry to Hays County, we not only get to show off the unique assets and geography that our corner of Texas has to offer, but we can also potentially boost our local economy significantly, with particular benefit for our arts and cultural organizations," San Marcos City Councilwoman Lisa Prewitt said.
