Even though we're all now spending our time locked in our houses and waiting for this danged quarantine to lift, it's important to be thinking of the future. Especially a future career. ESPECIALLY especially a future career in Oklahoma's growing film industry. That's right, alot of movie shoots have been put on hold, but once everything is back to normal, the floodgates will be unleashing a crapload of work, and that work means positions for people like you.

Today we talk to Richard and Melodie from the Oklahoma Film and TV Academy (OFTA) about all the really super cool stuff they will be offering. Did we mention it's super cool?
