AUSTIN — With massive school layoffs and health care cuts likely, Texas lawmakers have managed to set aside $10 million in their initial budget proposals for making movies. Film, television and video game producers say they are heartened that any incentive money was proposed for their industry. And they’re trying for a bigger slice of the budget pie, pointing to the Academy Award-nominated film True Grit, multiple television projects taped in Texas and a growing video game creation business. “We will have a compelling case to make,” said Don Stokes of Dallas, president of the Texas Motion Picture Alliance. “We don’t want to lose the momentum we’ve built up the last couple of years.”
