Texas has a strong heritage of film and television production, and has maintained a reputation for being a great place to make any type of project. The more than 130 local production companies have created an artistic and hard-working community that has attracted filmmakers from all over the world. In 2007, Texas was the primary location for Director Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood, which went on to win the Academy Award® for Best Cinematography. No Country for Old Men, The Great Debaters, and television shows Prison Break and Friday Night Lights were also among the more than 100 TV and film projects that shot in Texas last year.
