FEATURED CAREER
Taylor Mullins | production manager

"Without question, [my favorite aspect of working in Oklahoma’s film and television industry] has to be the people and the landscapes. I've worked all over the country, and the crews here in Oklahoma are among the most genuine and hardworking you'll find anywhere. The highlight of any shoot for me is when the clients are leaving and say, 'Wow, I never thought we'd have a crew like this in Oklahoma.'"
