Oklahoma City set for major film production boost
A new film project by Rebellion Films, based in Tulsa, is set to bring significant economic activity to Oklahoma City. The production, a coming-of-age story centered on a young man's crush on his teacher, will be filmed primarily in Oklahoma City, El Reno, and Guthrie from November 22 to December 18.

Produced by Talia Bella and Randy Wayne, a native of Moore, the film is expected to generate over $1.8 million in local expenditures. The crew will consist entirely of Oklahoma City-based professionals, with plans to hire 87 crew members and numerous extras, translating to approximately 2,066 workdays. The production aims to ensure diversity in hiring local vendors.

The project is projected to have a total economic impact of nearly $4.9 million, supporting approximately 6.19 jobs and generating a labor income of over $427,000. The filmmakers are also negotiating to conduct post-production work in Oklahoma City, further enhancing the local economic benefits. The film is seeking a rebate allocation of $9,100,728, with more than 50% of filming days planned in the city.
