It’s T-minus 20 days to the launch of this year’s ATX TV Festival, and one thing organizers don’t have hanging over their head this time around is the threat of a writers’ strike.

It's a long way from a college production of Batboy: The Musical to stomping in stolen armor across the post-apocalyptic world of Prime's Fallout, but Aaron Moten made it. "A long, long way, my friend," the Austin actor laughs. "Did my mother write you an email?"

It’s been 18 extremely long months since the symphonically fucked up baby investment bankers of Industry have been on our airwaves. I bear good news: They’re back, and Austin’s getting first crack at ’em.

Making a documentary is always a process of discovery. While Iliana Sosa was filming La Frontera, her episode of the new HBO series God Save Texas, there was a point in which she found herself looking at historical images that had never been seen before.

Devery Jacobs may be best known as Elora Danan in FX's Reservation Dogs, but she's also made an impact as a staff writer and episode director on the show. That's why ATX TV Festival has just announced that she'll receive this year's Breakthrough Award at the fest's Season 13 (May 30-June 2).

South by Southwest 2024's Film & TV Festival schedule is packed with big releases like The Fall Guy and Road House, but now it's added the world premiere of one of the year's most eagerly anticipated directorial debuts: Monkey Man, the first film from Dev Patel.

PBS stations across Texas have teamed up with H-E-B to showcase Texas Wildlife: Our Future, a 60-minute program exploring efforts to protect the state’s fauna and outdoor spaces. The film collection highlights research of devout Texans to preserve species and their habitats, and to reverse the effects of practices like overfishing.

Texas is a place that is often misunderstood by those outside it. Its proud reputation and blood-red state politics can make folks write it off. Thankfully, the new docuseries God Save Texas lets Texan filmmakers take the reins and add nuance, too.

2023 will go down as the year of strikes, as SAG-AFTRA and the WGA took action to protect their members from an AI-infested future and unfair streaming deals: but what were the film, TV, podcasting and streaming stories you cared about the most?
