        Texas Panhandle Film Commission is a non-profit organization composed of film industry professionals, communities, Chambers of Commerce, and Economic Development Councils throughout the twenty-six counties of the Texas Panhandle.

 

 

        We are dedicated to marketing the diverse communities, cultures, landscapes, wildlife, architecture, and the host of other attributes that the Texas Panhandle has to offer to the film and television industry.

        We accomplish our mission through attendance at tradeshows, interaction with production organizations, and education.

 

 

 

 

 

        As a non-profit organization, we have a mandate to educate.  We facilitate this mandate by providing guest speakers with varying areas of industry experience at our general membership meetings.

        Also, we host KICKFEST in the fall each year.  KICKFEST is the TPFC’s annual film festival showcasing the talent and vision of the Texas Panhandle’s film industry.

        Finally, we are developing a program to encourage education in the film and television industry by working with school systems and colleges throughout the Texas Panhandle.  Our goal is to encourage interest and enhance skills so that individuals can succeed in the industry.
