Little Elm: A Proud Texas Film Friendly Community

Little Elm has been recognized as a Texas Film Friendly Community by the Texas Film Commission, a designation proudly announced by Governor Greg Abbott. This recognition came in November 2024. Little Elm encourages film crews to visit the Town with a Lake Attitude.

The Town earned this prestigious designation after successfully completing the Texas Film Commission’s comprehensive training and certification process. Through this program, the Commission supports local job creation and economic growth by promoting Texas as a top destination for film, television, commercial, animation, visual effects, and video game productions.
