🎬 Big Changes Are Happening at The Ozarks Film Foundry! 🎭

We’re giving our theatre space a major glow-up — thanks to our Improvement Grant, the space is getting a fresh coat of paint, new carpet, and an updated ceiling! But that’s not all — we’re also reworking our lighting and sound booth and adding new stage lighting to make the Foundry even more versatile for performances, workshops, and film productions.

In this video, our Outreach Director and Film Office Liaison Ken Childers gives you a sneak peek at what’s in store and how these upgrades will help elevate the creative experience for everyone who walks through our doors.

🎥 Come see how we’re building a brighter future for filmmakers and performers in the Ozarks!
