Galveston In The Movies?
The 2018 movie, GALVESTON, based on the 2010 novel, GALVESTON by Nic Pizzolatto conforms to some extent to one or more of the "Hays Code" rules that once governed what could be depicted in motion pictures distributed in the United States. In particular, none of the main characters could profit from their illegal or immoral activities--they must in some way pay for their misdeeds. Roy Cady is a 40-year-old career criminal whose specialty is inflicting severe violence on anyone his mob-connected boss orders orders him to attack. Although he survives an attempt on his life, he eventually has to serve a 20 year prison sentence for various crimes he has committed. His companion, Raquel "Rocky" Arceneaux, although much younger than Roy, was raped repeatedly by her stepfather and, as a result, has a 2-year-old daughter. While on the run with Roy, she shot and killed her stepfather and reclaimed her daughter. While hiding out in Galveston, she is killed following an attack ordered by Roy's former boss. "Rocky's" daughter is raised by relatives and grows up to become a well-adjusted young woman. -

The Boulevard Project
I hope they're able to restore frequent service whenever they get the Gulfton extension finished. I understand their rationale here, it is still disappointing to see though! -

HTX Collective At 2800 Fondren Rd.
Another thing I like in the article is that the developer plans on partnering with local colleges to establish some sort of film education. if they get local colleges onboard here, that’s a big plus “While the Houston stages will be open to commercial filmmakers, Kashani says much of the emphasis will be on education through partnerships with area colleges. "It's not just about film but creating top-quality jobs and a workforce," says Kashani. "People don't realize that the film industry is one of the top industries in the nation, right along with construction and oil and gas. With film, you have three or four actors but hundreds of (other) people ... I want to generate money, generate jobs. That's the whole thing here." He compares it to a version of medical school. "It's like we are creating a teaching hospital, basically," he said. "Kind of like the M.D. Anderson." Kashani says that this is a good time to open a studio because, in the last Texas legislative session, the amount of money available from the state for film/TV incentives more than quadrupled from $45 million to $200 million, making Texas somewhat more competitive with such states as Georgia, New Mexico and Louisiana in attracting film, TV, commercials and videogame production. While other states may still offer more money, Kashani says the Lone Star State has built-in advantages beyond incentives”- 1
