Don’t Spend More on your Film Education if You Don’t Have to

Located near the southern tip of Texas near the Mexican border and the Gulf of Mexico, the town of Harlingen, Texas is home to around 57,000 people. Despite its small size, Harlingen is very significant as a major industrial and distribution hub, its Valley International Airport serving as a major international air cargo center. About 10 miles south of Harlingen, the Free Trade Bridge at Los Indios serves as a major border crossing, with a U.S. Customs presence that is able to handle the hundreds of trucks passing in and out of the country. Harlingen’s unique position as a hub, plus its proximity to coastal views and other urban areas, makes it a great location for finding a diversity of locations for filming.
