Houston Film Commission

The residents of Houston, the country’s fourth-largest city and third-largest county (Harris), know that there’s no place quite like Houston. With over 4 million residents in Harris County, the city attracts visitors and transplants with a wonderful mix of world-class arts, booming business, pro sports, and award-winning cuisine. As the rest of the country discovers what locals have known all along, Houston is finally enjoying the recognition it deserves. National headlines citing Houston as a must-visit city appear regularly, calling the city "the New Capital of Southern Cool" (GQ), and "the Houston dining scene is the most exciting it's ever been" (Food & Wine). In Houston, much of daily life happens outdoors thanks to mild, year-round temperatures. Take time to explore the eclectic, culture-filled neighborhoods, gallery spaces, and attractions, which offer diverse flavors that can only be found here. When filming in the greater Houston area, your film/TV project may be eligible for a 2.5% addition to the standard Texas incentive, and essential items for production are state sales tax-free. Some recent projects filmed in Houston are TEXAS METAL on MotorTrend TV, OutDAUGHTERED on TLC, THE READING psychological thriller on BET+, and the acclaimed MO series on Netflix.
