Although we’re called the Lone Star State, our stars are never alone here in the Houston-Austin Local.
We represent Texas members from Austin to Corpus to Houston and back. While Texas has been a part of the film industry since 1927, when William Wellman filmed Wings, the Houston-Austin Local continues to create new and exciting opportunities for all our members.
