Mattie Parker Supports the Film Industry: Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker is a strong advocate for investing in the film industry and has successfully positioned it as the city's "next great industry". Her efforts have included advocating for increased state incentives and supporting local development, resulting in significant economic growth for Fort Worth.

Mayor Parker has testified before the Texas Senate Finance Committee to increase the state's film incentives program (Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program - TMIIIP) to better compete with other states. This advocacy helped secure a commitment of $1.5 billion in state incentives over the next decade.

The film industry has generated nearly $1 billion in economic impact and created over 50,000 jobs in Fort Worth since the Fort Worth Film Commission was established in 2015.

• Studio Development: Parker has supported the development of major production facilities, including the new SGS Studios in the Alliance area, which is the largest operating film studio in Texas and home to many of Taylor Sheridan's (creator of Yellowstone and 1883) productions.

• Workforce Development: The city has partnered with educational institutions like Tarrant County College to create pathways for students to work in the film industry, training a local workforce to fill high-paying jobs in the booming sector.

• Attracting Productions: Fort Worth has become a hub for high-profile projects, including 1883, Landman, and Lioness, which spend millions locally and hire thousands of Texas-based crew and cast members.
Mayor Parker views the film industry's growth as a transformative economic driver, comparing its potential to the historical impacts of cattle, railroads, defense, and energy sectors on the city's development. More information can be found on the City of Fort Worth's official website.
The Fort Worth Film Commission reports that since its founding in 2015, it has worked with more than 1,000 film, television, and commercial projects, driving over 1 Billion in economic impact and supporting more than 50,000 jobs — covering roles from crew and extras to vendors, service providers, and hospitality workers connected to film production. Fort Worth

The 50,000+ jobs figure typically refers to jobs supported by film industry activity overall, including direct production jobs and indirect jobs supported through related spending (like hotels, food services, transportation, and other local businesses). It isn’t usually a claim that 50,000 new full-time permanent jobs were just recently created, but rather that the industry’s growth has supported or enabled that many job opportunities over time and across many projects in Fort Worth
