Each year, we hold workshops to educate future Oklahoma filmmakers. For the 2022 winter workshop, we are partnering with OKCPS to provide OKC high school students with a special hands-on film learning experience. Although the crew is exclusive to certain OKCPS students, the casting is open to all!
The workshop will be held December 17-20.
