The City of Jenks has achieved "film friendly" certification from the Oklahoma Film + Music Office.
The certification comes after the city completed the requirements for OF+MO's Oklahoma Film Friendly Community Program.
“Our city leadership communicates consistently that Jenks is open for business. Completing the Oklahoma Film Friendly Community program application is an extension of that ideology; we want to welcome the growing film industry with open arms to our community,” said Jenks Chamber of Commerce Director of Communications and Film Liaison Lane Castleberry. “The community of Jenks takes great pride in its small-town charm and welcoming environment, and we look forward to hosting production crews in the future.”

"We’re thrilled to welcome the City of Jenks to our growing roster of film friendly certified communities throughout the state of Oklahoma,” said OF+MO Director Jeanette Stanton. “It’s particularly promising to see increased participation in the film friendly program from communities in Northeast Oklahoma as this region is collaboratively creating a solid foundation of film infrastructure which stands to potentially benefit communities like Jenks as more film and television production impacts this area.”
