The only reason why Austin is on my list is because of the University and it has had ties with Hollywood for quite some time now. Plus, Richard Linklater, Robert Rodriguez, Cohen Brothers and Tarantino have filmed quite a few movies there. On top of that SXSW has really helped out its film scene. I've never even heard of a film scene in San Antonio at all.

Robert Rodriquez is from San Antonio and has filmed movies in S.A. also. Anyway, San Antonio was the hollywood of Texas at one time and fim history goes way back. It has more major movies filmed in the area than Austin. Austin however has a stronger indy-amateur film presence because of UT and the Austin film festival is bigger than San Antonio's film festival.
