We worked with Foodarama on a film shoot for a recent music video. Not only were they one of the nicest organizations we have ever worked with as a location, the store was incredibly photogenic, the staff terrific, and from what we saw, has a tremendously loyal customer base.
They helped us make our project, the music video for the Southern Backtones' song "Forever," a reality and we can't say enough good things about this place. Not only is it a real grocery store, like the ones we used to have when I was a kid, they have the best in-store music I have ever heard. One day while we were there I actually heard "My Beach by the Surf Punks.
Thanks Foodarama...We worked with Foodarama on a film shoot for a recent music video. Not only were they... more

A non-profit organization for the promotion of the Texas film industry and production incentives for producers that bring business to the Lone Star State.
For over 80 years Texas has been in the production business. Unfortunately, in recent years we've watched our healthy industry erode as other states began to offer production incentives, such as tax rebates, making it cheaper for productions to shoot elsewhere. Subsequently, Texas production declined and many of our crew and talent moved to work in those other states. Our state's unique tax structure prevented us from duplicating other state's incentives. On June 7, 2007 industry history was made. Governor Rick Perry signed our new production incentives into law.
Watch out world, things are definitely about to change!
