A lot can happen in three years! We're proud of the role our platform company Prairie Surf Media plays as part of Oklahoma's growing film industry success – including support of blockbuster hits like Twisters while training up the next generation of storytellers and film crews.
In honor of the "Filmed in Oklahoma Act" of 2021, Governor Kevin Stitt proclaimed August 3 as ‘Film Day’ in Oklahoma. Today, we celebrate the growth that Oklahoma film production has seen in the past three years. Thank you, Governor Stitt, Lt. Governor Matt Pinnell, the leadership of the Oklahoma Film + Music Office, bill authors Senator Chuck Hall and Representative Scott Fetgatter, and the legislators who believed that film could be a new frontier for Oklahoma. We can't wait to see what the next three years will bring.
