Elgin’s Main Street was transformed into a set for a car commercial June 14, drawing the attention of residents and local business owners.
The state has programs to lure film productions to Texas. An effort to provide additional tax breaks failed to gain traction during the regular session. Rudge offered advice on how to keep the spotlight on Texas movie making.
"Make it easy. Keep making it easy. Having less red tape with filming, pulling film permits in the area makes it a lot more, I guess, efficient for us to be able to do in a short amount of time. I was able to pull this shoot together in less than a week if I was in L.A. this take me 2 to 3 weeks. So keep the red tape away, and it's going to draw us more and more business," said Rudge.
Elgin may be known by most people for the local BBW, but the outside attention is extra PR according to Christina Martin. She works in a Main Street office. "I think it's awesome. I really think that it kind of spreads the community and makes it known that this little place like Elgin is out here," said Martin.All the news you need to know, every day
