Hello Bluesky, we're the Center for Entertainment and Media Industries! At CEMI, we research the Texas media landscape, support students studying and planning for careers in the media industries, and foster relationships between UT-Austin, the local media ecosystem, and the larger media industries.

Four panelists and a moderator on a stage in a film studio, with about ten rows of attendees listening to the panel. Picture was taken at the Texas Entertainment and Media Industries Symposium at UT Austin.
