Richard Janes, co-founder of Filmmakers Ranch, said they are excited for the studio to transform into a film production hub.
“We now can provide a turn-key environment with high-quality services at extremely competitive pricing structures,” Janes said.

“The most recent example includes Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ starring Leonardo DiCaprio – the biggest movie production ever undertaken in the state,” Vol said. “We are poised to help develop a workforce capable of servicing the major film and TV projects coming to and currently filming in Oklahoma.”
