Playing an FBI agent who goes undercover as a beauty contestant to capture a terrorist, Sandra Bullock added yet another box office hit and audience favorite to the remarkable run she had in the 90s. Throw in a stacked supporting cast and the Texas pride aspect of the film being shot in Austin and San Antonio, and you’ve got a movie that deserves the biggest 25th birthday salute we can muster.
Films shot in Texas like Miss Congeniality pump millions of dollars into local economies and bring jobs to talented crew and creatives. Miss Congeniality shows us the magic that can happen when the “Tex-factor” collides with big ticket, crowd-pleasing filmmaking.
About the Austin Film Commission:A part of Visit Austin, the Austin Film Commission works to bring film, television, and commercial production to the city, as well as advocating for and assisting with production filming in the Austin area, all of which creates jobs for local professionals, increased spending at local businesses, and global promotion of Austin.
Media For Texas is the state’s leading media advocacy and nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting local talent, boosting in-state production, and building a thriving media ecosystem across Texas. Founded by filmmakers and sixth-generation Texans Chase Musslewhite and Grant Wood, the organization is based in Austin and operates statewide.
