News
The Texas Film Commission (TFC) and the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (TAMI) today announced the launch of a new online exhibit examining the history of industrial filmmaking in Dallas. Titled "Mavericks and (M)ad Men: The Industrial Film Legacy of Dallas" and hosted on Google Arts & Culture, the exhibit features 13 videos submitted to the Texas Film Round-Up by Dallas media producers and Texas organizations to tell the story of the independent filmmakers who helped turn the Texas metroplex into an epicenter for commercial film production.
Before Dallas became a popular destination for film and television production, resident creators had already cultivated national renown for a different kind of production—commercial production of newsreels, industrial and promotional films, government and educational films, and television commercials. Showcasing videos from TAMI’s online collection, this digital exhibit takes a closer look at a few of the companies and personalities that helped earn Dallas the nickname "Little New York of the Southwest."

The Royse City, TX Community
Royse City is home to a growing number of young professionals and families. The average age within the city is 32 years old, and the educational attainment is higher than the national average. This has led to a population that is active, educated, and earns around $90,000 per year - far more than the national average. With 15,000 new homes in some stage of development, the city’s growth is expected to continue for some time. As it does, investments are being made in parks and recreation and the local school district.
