Local production companies as well as operations from out of town have shown interest in hiring graduates of the program, Fort Worth Film Commissioner Taylor Hardy said. One graduate was hired to work on the second season of \u201cLandman.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re really fortunate to have partners that want to give back and make sure that they\u2019re building the industry here rather than coming in, bringing people and leaving,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Sheridan\u2019s production company SGS Studios, in partnership with Hillwood and Paramount Television, is building a campus that will be home to the largest production studio in Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n For the next 10 years, the state will offer $300 million in film incentives every two years as part of a new law the Texas Legislature approved earlier in the year. Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker, Sheridan and Texas actors such as Matthew McConaughey advocated for incentives.<\/p>\n The local film industry is seeing immense growth and is not going anywhere, said TCC instructor Darryl Hoelting, who previously taught classes to film collaborative students.<\/p>\n \u201cThe opportunity is absolutely incredible,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s going to be a lot of work within the next couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\n TCC is adding four new certificates to its program this spring: costume, sound, camera and art.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hardy anticipates the state\u2019s recently boosted incentive program will drive more local production.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to make sure that we\u2019re prepared for that and training the next generation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n McKinnon Rice is the higher education reporter for the Fort Worth Report.
