Since the first motion picture studio in Texas was set up in San Antonio in 1910, the city has hosted the filming of more than 250 movies, including the first Academy Award winner for Best Picture Wings in 1927. Film historian Frank Thompson includes the first filmography documenting the scope of the activity.
