Want to take the mic?
We’re opening up the floor each month for a handful of brave souls to pitch their project, share their skills, or simply put it out there that they’re ready to work. If you’re interested in grabbing one of these slots, email us at tuffest@powdot.com with a few lines about what you want to present.
No pressure to pitch?
No problem. Come grab a beer, meet some like-minded creatives, and be part of the movement that’s shaping Tulsa into a true film hub.
Let’s make movies. Let’s make connections. Let’s make Tulsa the next big thing.
