Film Industry Initiatives
OSU-Tulsa is creating educational opportunities to support Oklahoma’s rapidly expanding
film industry. State-of-the-art, hands-on learning at OSU-Tulsa contributes to creating
an experienced workforce in Tulsa to support film productions in the state, as well
as gives students the necessary skills to start their own film projects.
Non-Credit Workshops
OSU-Tulsa has offered public, non-credit workshops for aspiring filmmakers, screenwriters
and producers through the Center for Poets and Writers at OSU-Tulsa since 2019. Taught by industry professionals, these workshops give participants an
inside look into the film industry.
In 2021, OSU-Tulsa hired filmmaker-in-residence Zach Litwack and expanded its film
workshop offerings in response to requests from productions filming in Oklahoma.

Cherokee Film Partnership
Cherokee Film has helped fund film equipment, including cameras, lenses, sound gear, lighting and other film essentials, as well as post-production necessities such as computers and software to help expand OSU-Tulsa’s film program. Cherokee Film has also partnered with the university to offer scholarships to the non-credit film workshops for any citizen of a federally recognized tribe.
