It should come as no surprise that San Antonio was named one of the “Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker 2024” in MovieMaker Magazine. The publication lauded our photogenic city with its 250 city-owned locations which offer free permits and turnkey film permitting. What can we say? The camera loves the San Antonio River Walk.
No wonder so many films + TV shows have been shot here, including:
- “Miss Congeniality” | The beauty pageant itself is set in San Antonio, and you can see the River Walk in several scenes.
- “Spy Kids” | You may have noticed that the spy headquarters (The OSS) looks familiar.
- “Selena” | This 1997 biopic used the Alamodome as the set for the Astrodome in Houston.
- “Squid Games: Backstories” | Contestant 393 competed in the “Squid Games” and shared her backstory about being the only deaf contestant.
