From No. 1 to No. 10, Austin plunges as filmmaking mecca

Or so says MovieMaker magazine in its annual (dubious?) Top Movie Cities poll.

It’s true: Last year Austin ranked No. 1. This year we are No. 10. Crud.

(Last year our arch-nemesis Shreveport was No. 3. It has dropped to No. 4.)

How did we, the mighty, fall? Read all about it, with a chunk of salt, HERE. Also note that the mag defines the list as “The 25 best cities in the U.S. to ride it out as an independent moviemaker this year.”

Here’s the Top 10:

  1. Chicago, IL
  2. Atlanta, GA
  3. New York, NY
  4. Shreveport. LA
  5. Albuquerque, NM
  6. Boston, MA
  7. Stamford, CT
  8. Memphis, TN
  9. Milwaukee, WI
  10. Austin, TX
