The financial impact of the production of films and music in Oklahoma was the topic of the director of the State Film and Music Office Tuesday morning.  Jill Simpson, told Sooner Rotary that the industry has a $300,000,000 impact on the state each year.  The ability to bring such movie productions such as "August: Osage County" to the state hinges on the incentives that can be offered to the productions.  It is highly competitive between states, she said, and the funding for the office is set to expire if it is not renewed. Image
