OKC outpaced cities such as San Diego, Dallas, Kansas City, Portland and San Francisco.

MovieMaker highlighted not only the passage of the Filmed in Oklahoma Act, which increased the incentives cap from $8 million to $30 million of the state’s film rebate program (20% to 38%), but also the talent of local crews.

The article states that Oklahoma’s central location, diverse landscapes, distinct eco-regions, camera-ready workforce, and low costs for living and business make it a formidable partner for the film and television industry.
