The Texas Film Commission is part of the Governor's Office of Music, Film, Television, and Multimedia Industries and works to increase film, television, and multimedia production in the state. Types of records in this group include correspondence, calendars, manuals, directories, photographs, a videocassette, and related materials that document the Texas Film Commission. The records date from 1995 to 2000 and undated, with the bulk of records dating from 1999 to 2000. The Texas Film Commission records are composed of three subseries: "Manuals and directories," "Correspondence," and "Calendars." There are two types of published manuals/directories present, dating 1995, 1997-2000. First, there are several editions of the "Texas Production Manual," a directory/manual published annually that lists film professionals in Texas. The bulk of the information is the alphabetical directory listing of film professionals. Another section lists the film professions by category. Categories, or types of professionals listed, include production companies and assistants, photographers, set and costume design and construction, hair and makeup services, location scouts and managers, casting directors, talent agencies, film directors, film editors, music arrangers and composers, script and screen writers, sound services, prop companies, stunt people and stunt service companies, studios, and other related film services. The other publication in this series is the "Texas Music Industry Directory," a directory of musicians and music-related companies, for 2000. "Correspondence," 1995 to 2000 and undated, includes several folders of incoming correspondence to Tom Copeland, director of the commission, dating 1996 to 2000. Most of the remainder of the correspondence consists of files for Kevin Walker, the office manager of the commission. There is a folder of outgoing faxes and a folder of incoming and outgoing correspondence, dating 1995 to 2000. Subjects in the correspondence include upcoming productions, locations of film shoots, how to get a company added to the "Texas Production Manual," and requests for lists of companies handling specific film-related services. There are also invitations to screen play readings, film premieres, and social engagements. Finally, there is a small amount of correspondence not replied to (designated "NRN (no response necessary)") and a so-called "challenging" correspondence file composed of letters to which the staff had difficulty formulating a reply. "Calendars" consist of daily calendars for Kevin Walker, Tom Copeland, Carole Pirie (communications director), Amy Cadenhead (production consultant), and one unidentified calendar for 2000.
