The Tulsa Office of Film, Music, Arts and Culture (TFMAC) and Tulsa Tourism have announced a new $400,000 Tulsa Film Incentive, marking the city's first-ever film production incentive program. The incentive is designed to attract more film and TV projects to Tulsa and the greater Green Country area, with the goal of driving economic impact to the region.

Why it matters

Tulsa has long sought to establish itself as a hub for film and television production, but has lacked the financial incentives that have drawn productions to other parts of Oklahoma and neighboring states. This new $400,000 film incentive program represents a significant investment by the city and local tourism agency to boost Tulsa's profile in the industry and capture a greater share of production activity and spending.

The details

The Tulsa Film Incentive will provide qualifying productions with a cash rebate of up to 25% on qualified in-state expenditures, including crew wages, goods and services purchased, and other production costs. The incentive is stackable with Oklahoma's existing state-level film incentive, potentially providing productions with up to 35% in total rebates. TFMAC and Tulsa Tourism will administer the program and work to attract new film, television, and commercial projects to the Tulsa region.

  • The Tulsa Film Incentive program was announced on February 10, 2026.
