Hollywood may be the “Entertainment Capitol of the World” but El Reno is quickly becoming the home away from home for movie-makers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the third time since Oklahoma reopened its doors from the virus lockdown, production on a full-length movie was done at different locations in the city.

“I shot here in June and we were the first Screen Actors Guild crew to shoot here since COVID-19 hit. There are a ton of producers and directors working on movies in Los Angeles and you just get sick of the same look.
