Green Pastures

Green Pastures operates a training school for film crew to expand their knowledge or kickstart their career in Oklahoma's film, television, and media industries. Their graduates have gained employment on major motion pictures and television shows for DreamWorks, Lionsgate, Paramount Pictures, Disney, Apple, and Amazon, helping to tell stories with Oscar winning directors such as Martin Scorsese, Taika Waititi, and Tom McCarthy.

The Oklahoma Impact Investing Collaborative (OIIC), a MetaFund initiative, provided bridge funding to support workforce development opportunities for individuals experiencing barriers to employment.

“Building a sustainable film industry in Oklahoma requires great partners. MetaFund’s partnership has allowed Green Pastures Studio to train a diverse crew base to meet the demands of a growing industry, training many people who otherwise would not have access and opening up long term career paths for those who will benefit the most.”
