I was honored to join Essential Conversations in Oklahoma City as a speaker on behalf of the Oklahoma Motion Picture Alliance , alongside the incredible Jeanette Stanton and Jill Simpson. Thank you to everyone who came out to invest in the future of Oklahoma’s film and television industry.

The momentum is real. Oklahoma is attracting more productions, growing its creative workforce, expanding its infrastructure, and proving that world-class storytelling doesn’t have to begin (or end) in Hollywood. The talent is here. The locations are here. The opportunity is here.

As both a filmmaker and an OKMPA board member, it’s exciting to see our industry continue to build something lasting for the next generation of creators, crews, and businesses across the state.

Grateful to Essential Offices for the chance to be part of the conversation and even more excited about what’s ahead. Oklahoma isn’t waiting for the future of filmmaking, we’re helping create it.
