Bailout Boosts Oklahoma Filmmaking

The financial bailout bill is helping more than Wall Street and Main Street, it could also impact movie making in Oklahoma.

What a joke to use bail out money for this kind of pork. Just make a good movie people want to see instead of all the trash out there. use your own money, then make a profit or lose money. It's called free enterprise. DA!!

yep; i bet with all that free tax money the film makers can now throw a big party, but you the commoner will not be invited. gee we will be left out agin and still the price f movie tickets will keep going up. RICKY when it is given to the citizens it is called a socialist program to be attacked by conservatives and cuts made on the programs. when a socialist programfor the rich CEO's of wallstreet and other rich reciptiens it is done under newly named program for the rich, ie tax breaks equal about 45 thousand dollars per $$$1 million dollars in tax breaks. THE HOGS HAVE COME TO FEED AT THE TROUGH EATING YOUR TAX DOLLARS. THEY HAVE DONE FORGOT YOU ONCE AGIN. WHERE IS YOUR HELP COMING FROM.

I don't know, maybe it will boost Oklahoma's economy. We,ve had one big company leave and what? about 500 jobs lost? If it is good for Oklahoma I am all for it. Look at Kirk Cameron's film, very low budget film, grossing over 6 million in one week-end. And Hey...we have very talented people in okla. Look at Reba, Ronnie Dunn, Garth Brooks....Maybe just maybe this will be a good thing.

My god you people are hateful to news that is positive for our state. This is why no one wants to do business in Oklahoma. Its residents are ignorant, lazy, and in general just wanting to shit on anything good that they have or possibly will have in the future.

The tax payer has in now way been screwed here. There are a lot of jobs that come with a film being shot. The money that is dropped into the film will be kept in Oklahoma. And if our state is proven to be a viable cheap alternative to other film locations filmmakers will keep coming back.
