Texas Filmmakers' Showcase

The Texas Filmmakers' Showcase was an annual program of the Houston Film Commission that presented a 90-minute block of short films made in Texas or by Texas residents to Hollywood industry professionals. Shorts of 40 minutes or less could be entered free; judges from outside Texas picked five to ten, and the selected filmmakers were flown to Los Angeles for a premiere screening and reception, followed by public screenings around Texas with partner festivals. The commission's archive covers showcases from 1994, when it was called the Young Film Makers Showcase, through 2018, when the premiere was at the AFI Mark Goodson Theater. Its page also lists a later Texas tour without a year. No newer showcase has been posted.
