🎬 💰 It pays to make films in Tulsa! We are so excited to announce the Tulsa Film Incentive Program, which will help attract productions to the region and reward them for collaborating with our local workforce.
Incentives begin with a 5 percent rebate on productions between $100,000 and $5 million local spend and can qualify for up to $50,000. Filming projects over $5 million are eligible for $75, 000. Qualifiers include:
• Use of local music

The third Mix and Master of the year is today at Hunt Club!
Tulsa musicians don’t want to miss the chance to connect with fellow artists, grow their network, and meet local resources that support Tulsa’s music community.
This month’s topic is Homeownership for Musicians, a conversation with @privatelabelrealtors covering credit, mortgages, freelance income, and practical financial steps for creatives. Even if buying a home isn’t on your radar right now, this is a great opportunity to learn, connect, and build relationships within the local scene.
Free to attend + First 50 drinks are on Tulsa FMAC🍻
A one-day, hands-on workshop designed for anyone who has ever said, "I'd like to work in the film industry, but I don't know where to start."
Led by three working professionals with real credits, this workshop gives you the knowledge, vocabulary, and practical roadmap to take your first steps into the industry. You'll hear directly from a PA instructor, an Emmy Award–winning producer, and a veteran 1st Assistant Director.
The day is built around practical knowledge and honest conversation — not hype. A catered lunch is included. Every attendee receives a printed seminar packet with reference materials, crew role descriptions, on-set lingo, and local resources for getting started.
The event will be hosted at Buffalo Roam Studios in Bartlesville, Oklahoma — a stunning converted historic church being transformed into Oklahoma's world-class film production campus and film academy.
