Oklahoma City is the state capital of Oklahoma, as well as its largest city, hosting a greater metro population of over 1.2 million people. Although most people don't readily associate OKC with the film industry, in the early days of the industry it served as a major film exchange and distribution center for movies, developing its own "Film Row" of movie houses. Today, the "Film Exchange District" in Oklahoma City pays homage to this history.
Frequent film and TV production activity continues to take place in and around Oklahoma City, primarily in the form of on-location filmmaking, encouraged by generous tax incentives and rebates offered by the state film office. Some of the movies that have been filmed in and around Oklahoma City include Rain Main, Elizabethtown, The Killer Inside Me, Dennis the Menace, and the 1962 version of the filmal State Fair, just to name a few. Whether your interest is in producing, directing, editing, special effects or lighting, Oklahoma City has a lot of opportunities to offer.
With our many professional connections and relationships forged over the years, FILM CONNECTION is positioned to get your foot in the door of the film industry in ways other film schools can't. Our secret is the mentor-extern approach, in which we place you with a working film or television professional, who gives you one-on-one instruction during real film and video shoots. Many of our graduates go on to permanent industry work. You could be next! Enroll in our Oklahoma City Film School today, and let us show you what we can do for your career!
Some of our graduates have gone on to become film directors, script writers, and production company owners. Others are creating and producing their own films across genres like documentary, drama, comedy, action, and animation

I got great movie recommendations that gave me many creative influences. My mentor gave constructive feedback on my script. I learned about how to work on a film set and collaborate with other art departments. I enjoyed my experience with Film Connection.
