Austin has a long history of being the capital of entertainment and it's only getting better. From its rich music scene to its thriving film industry, this Central Texas is one of the most artistic places on Earth – and not for nothing.

Over the past decades, the production of movies in the region such as "Miss Congeniality", "True Grit", "Dazed and Confused" and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" as well as other award-winning films shown on silver screens has been a part of Austin's pop culture.
