Between out-of-state projects like the Killers of the Flower Moon, Minari, Reagan, Reservation Dogs, and Stillwater, and homegrown projects like Mickey Reece’s Agnes and Kyle Kauwika Harris’s Out of Exile, Oklahoma seems to be in the middle of a boom in film and TV productions. Thanks to increasing tax incentives, new talent development programs from the Oklahoma Film and TV Academy, larger sound stages from Green Pastures Studio and Prarie Surf Media, and top-notch emerging talent, both behind and in front of the camera, Oklahoma continues to carve out its place as one of the top states in the country for making film and television. Earlier this year, MovieMaker Magazine named both Oklahoma City and Tulsa among its Best Places to Live and Work as a Moviemaker in 2021.

In today’s exclusive deadCenter 2021 keynote conversation, we’re joined by an incredible panel of leaders working in the Oklahoma film and television industry including the Oklahoma Film+Music Office’s Tava Sofsky, Green Pastures Studio’s Melodie Garneau, and Oklahoma filmmaker, Cassie Gann, to talk with us about what’s driving the exciting momentum in increased film and TV productions in our state. 

Don’t miss this deadCenter 2021 keynote conversation to hear unique insights into what’s been driving the recent growth in film and TV projects in Oklahoma, the traits that make Oklahoma a distinct place to host productions, and foreshadowing into what the next chapter of the Oklahoma entertainment industry could hold.
