Prairie Surf Media has been a trailblazing force in Oklahoma's film industry since its inception. Founders Matt Payne and Rachel Cannon have built a logistical one-stop-shop for movie makers in their downtown Oklahoma City studio, with soundstages, offices, production support and preferred vendors all under one roof. Now they’re expanding their services through a new storytelling division, Prairie Surf Creative.
"The studio was always a first step towards making our own content and producing content for others,” said Payne who added that the current writers’ strike has given them an opportunity to grow. “Particularly now in this downtime, we're busy as ever, producing all kinds of different projects. It's a way for us to generate more revenue streams and to use storytelling to do good things.”
