Where in Texas can you find terrain as diverse as California: sea coast, mountains, farmland, urban, desert, forest, etc.?
Varied terrain: sea coast, swamp, forest, snow-capped mountains, arid cattle-country, etc. is one of the reasons that Vancouver has become "Hollywood of the North."
Sea coast, mountains, farmland, urban, desert, forest, swamp, arid cattle country...so yeah, Texas has all of that too. There's historical reasons why California ended up the entertainment capital of the US (and really, of North America, Vancouver notwithstanding), but the geography of Texas really isn't far behind that of Cali in terms of unique landscapes.
Well, either San Antonio or Corpus Christi could be a perfect substitute for Miami as the Hispanic counterpart of Hollywood. I know it's a bit different from the OP's requirement, but at least it involved Texas; after all, the state has a significant Hispanic population, majority Mexicans (Tejano)
Well, Miami was not the only destination of the Cubans fleeing Castro; some went to different Latin American countries: for example, broadcast mogul Goar Mestre went to Argentina, telenovela writer Delia Fiallo worked for some time in Venezuela (or so I thought), etc.Isn't Miami the center of Hispanic entertainment because Cuba was previously the center and they fled there?
Would there be "bible belt" issues with Texans and the movie "bidness" compared to godless California?![]()
