Oklahoma… it’s TIME TO RALLY!!!! We need to fight for film!!
.
OCPA is attacking film and we need to let our legislators know these are OKLAHOMA JOBS they are messing with. 608 is an Oklahoma FIRST bill, created by Hall and Fetgatter to build a sustainable Film and TV industry that will bring true economic diversity to our state. This isn’t about Hollywood - this is about OKLAHOMA JOBS.
.
Let’s get LOUD.
.
Call your Senate / House member and ask them to vote YES on SB#608. Please let them know the $50 million cap is a critical starting point for the state to see a ROI. Link in BIO.
.
If you are in the industry tell them YOUR CAREER DEPENDS ON THEIR YES.
.
If you are NOT in the industry WE NEED YOUR CALLS TOO!! Please call to support this opportunity for our state!
.
THE DATA: A $50 million cap supports a $200 million film spend (100m in wages and 100m in goods and services). With 1-2 TV series on soundstages, this will bring an additional economic impact of $605 MILLION with over 4310 direct jobs to Oklahoma. And thousands more in indirect jobs!!! We need this!!
.
THE DREAM: Let’s STOP exporting our kids to NY, LA and GA to pursue a career in Film TV. Let’s bring them HOME to work in the industry they love. Let’s ensure that the next generation grows up in a place where the arts are a viable career option in their HOME STATE. If nothing changes, nothing changes.
.
We have been exporting our kids out of state for decades to pursue film. We are on the verge of changing that narrative with this incentive. Let’s GO.
