It should come as no surprise that Fort Worth was named one of the “Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker” in MovieMaker Magazine. The magazine lauded our film culture (think: the Lone Star Film Festival) and how easy it is to snag a filming permit.
What can we say? The camera loves Fort Worth’s big blue sky.
No wonder so many films and television shows have been shot here, including:
- “1883" | The prequel to “Yellowstone” stars Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and a number of Fort Worth locations.
- “Logan’s Run” | This sci-fi flick used Fort Worth Water Gardens’ active pool for scenes.
- “Bottle Rocket” | Wes Anderson’s first feature film was shot entirely in Fort Worth, Dallas, and Hillsboro.
Creator of “Yellowstone” and Fort Worthian, Taylor Sheridan is also filming a show about Bass Reeves here. Catch it on Paramount+ when it premieres (hopefully by the end of 2023). Don’t want to fork over the $4.99 per month? We challenge you to binge all five seasons of “Yellowstone” using the free 30-day trial.
