Film is more than entertainment—it’s a powerful economic engine. That’s why Prairie Surf supports TheFutureisFilmOK, a coalition working to keep the industry thriving in our state.
Unlike many industries, motion picture and television production has the flexibility to travel for each project, bringing high-paying jobs and millions in spending wherever it goes. With diverse locations across Oklahoma, that impact reaches major cities, small towns, and rural communities alike.
But 38 states offer film incentives—and if we want to keep attracting productions, we need to stay competitive. Increasing Oklahoma’s film rebate ensures that investment happens here, jobs stay here, and local businesses continue to benefit.
📢 How can you help? Share this post. Follow TheFutureisFilmOK on Facebook and Instagram, and download their Legislative Toolkit (linktr.ee/thefutureisfilmok) to learn how to advocate for keeping Oklahoma's film momentum rolling.
Let’s make sure these jobs and opportunities stay right here where they belong.
🎬 Lights, Camera, Advocate – The Time to Act is Now!
Oklahoma’s film industry is booming, creating jobs, boosting local businesses, and generating millions in tax revenue—but to keep this momentum going, we need your voice.
The Filmed in Oklahoma Act has already proven its value, with every $1 in film incentives generating over $3 in direct in-state spending. Increasing the rebate to $80 million annually would attract bigger productions, support more local jobs, and generate long-term economic growth—all without raising taxes.
📢 How can you help? Our Legislative Toolkit makes it easy for filmmakers, industry professionals, and all Oklahomans to advocate for film. Inside, you’ll find step-by-step guidance on contacting legislators, key talking points, and resources to make your voice heard.
