Rep. Dunnington will take questions about what he has learned that has inspired him to become a champion for the film industry in Oklahoma, including current legislation he has authored to help bolster the industry here.

We’ll kick things off with Cherokee Nation Deputy Chief Bryan Warner, who will welcome the crowd and speak briefly about the exciting opportunities being presented by the film and television industries in Oklahoma.

We’ll also hear from the CNFO director, Jennifer Loren, who will touch on the mission of the newly launched CNFO and how the office is covering a lot of ground. Abby Kurin, director of the Tulsa Office of Film, Music, Arts & Culture, will talk about the growing film industry in Tulsa.
