The movie "Pearl" was made under the auspices of the OK incentive program and opens in Tulsa at the Circle Cinema Theater on Sat May 22 with a reception with cast prior to showtime.
Some of the information in this article is not correct. -There are several film festivals in Tulsa and northeastern Oklahoma. None, however, are on a large scale. Perhaps all should join forces for one big one? -There ARE incentives for film in Oklahoma and the state IS OFFICIALLY PROMOTING film in Oklahoma. How do you think "The Killer Inside Me" came to Tulsa and OKC?...Oklahoma Film office and the incentives. Go to www.oklahomafilm.org and click on state incentives for details of the incentives. The website also has information on filming in Oklahoma, including local crew and locations databases. -Tom Green is not a part of the Oklahoma Film Commission. He works for the Metro Chamber. -One of the most difficult part of film making is getting the financing. Governments, especially state and city governments all over the US with today's financial problems, don't provide financing.
Murder Morgue Records, is looking to host and aid film makers in getting a start. Check them out at www.MurderMorgue.com. The site hosts artist in entertainment and music. They also are from N.E. Oklahoma. Hey it's worth a shot to be heard.
A great write up, for a clever filmmaker. We're all excited to see a tulsa filmmaker get some press. As a shamelessly self promoting filmmaker (www.titusj.com) , how does one get urbantulsa to check out some of our work?
Fantastic job, Joe. By far the best article to ever be published in this paper regarding the Tulsa film scene. Realistic but forward-thinking.
The complete absence of both childish optimism/delusion and callous negativity is quite the feat, considering your subject. The facts speak for themselves.
I have been privileged to read through many of the drafts for Dunlap's "Greyscale." The theatre-going public has a real treat in store. The storyline is engaging and the twist at the end is most surprising.
