Film Friendly Edinburg
Edinburg, Texas is a Film Friendly Texas community! Edinburg has established a Film Friendly program for promoting economic development activity within the City of Edinburg and the vicinity of the City.
Designated by the Texas Film Commission, Film Friendly Texas communities are eager to work with media industry professionals when contacted about filming in their area. As a designated community, we receive ongoing training and guidance from the Texas Film Commission regarding media industry standards, best practices and how to effectively accommodate media production in our community. The Film Friendly Texas program serves as an invaluable resource that helps position Texas as a premier destination for media production.
