Aimed at growing Oklahoma’s film workforce, participants are invited to join PSM and esteemed faculty from OKCU’s School of Theatre and Film Department for a series of training workshops designed to educate those who are interested in employment opportunities in Oklahoma’s film and television industry, specifically in the art department.
