The Brownsville Border Film Commission was created in 2003 to market the City of Brownsville as a film friendly destination. The Brownsville Border Film Commission is AFCI-Certified, one of eleven Regional Texas Film Commissions, and a Film-Friendly Community.
Located in the southern tip of Texas, Brownsville offers an unforgettable and matchless experience along the border--sister city to Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico--with beautiful landscapes, historical sites, unique flora and fauna, and wealth of culture and talent.
The Brownsville Border Film Commission can provide assistance with city department coordination and permitting.
