The Crew Coop podcast starts this fall. Sign up with your email address to get notified.

The aim of The Crew Coop initiative is to provide education and conversation around alternative models in every stage of the film industry from production to distribution to exhibition, closely examining Oklahoma’s new opportunity to use the Limited Cooperative Association entity type and options for a federated cooperative created by our own community.

We mean to provide education in the form of interviews with professionals from the production, investing, legal, accounting, granting, distributing, and exhibition spheres, alongside a rotating local cast of crew currently working on the ground in Oklahoma. Also, taking a look at historical examples as well as currently operating cooperatives working in the film space, we can demonstrate that the existence of worker cooperatives is not only possible but economically viable.

It’s our hope that creating a space for this dialogue fosters conversations within our own community to continue thinking outside of exploitative and sometimes dangerous working practices that are currently considered industry standard.
