The Ozarks Film Foundry is committed to forging a movement that leads to sustainable industries in film, television, and new media production in our home, the Ozarks.

​

Whereas major movie studios and national networks have only been occasional visitors to our region, we are leading the effort to make the motion media industries of today and tomorrow a permanent feature of the Ozarks’ cultural and commercial landscape.

​

Our model is powered by the examples of other regional film hubs, which leverage the network effects of placemaking, master cultural planning strategies, industry advocacy, public education, and professional skills development; coupled with community buy-in and the support of private and public stakeholders at all levels.
