FAQ

  • When was OFX founded?

    Oklahoma Film Exchange was just an idea in late 2024. We wanted to bring film to people through pop-up screenings or any other way we could. When the current tenants decided to move out of the Film Row screening room at the end of their lease on August 31, we jumped at the opportunity to raise the funds to move in, buy the equipment from them, and preserve the space as it is. We’ve been running full steam ahead since June 2025.

  • Who is currently at the Film Row screening room?

    Rodeo Cinema are the current tenants of the Film Row screening room in the Paramount building. OFX and the Rodeo Cinema Foundation have been in close discussion and they graciously granted us the full month of August to help promote our fundraising journey with their space. They want to see the space succeed as much as we do, but they want to focus their attention on their Stockyards location.

  • Who owns OFX?

    Oklahoma Film Exchange is a cooperative movement operated by our partners listed on the About OFX page. The OFX brand was founded under Shadows and Light, LLC, a company owned by Dalton Stuart and Sean Peel.

  • Why co-op instead of a non-profit movement?

    After careful deliberation, the team as a whole decided that we would like to have complete control over our organization and operations. Without a board to defer to, we would ultimately be the only decision-makers in the future of Oklahoma Film Exchange and subject directly to the feedback of our supporters.

  • What happens if you raise enough money to keep the space open?

    We will utilize the space with the equipment provided there now as a theater and screening room. We will also be hosting live events, media swaps, game nights, and more. It will be a “third space” for the community to come together, build relationships, and make memories. We will be using the funds to pay rent, buy the equipment, and cover all extra expenses that come from starting and operating a business.

  • What happens if you don't raise enough money?

    Our Indiegogo is set up as an all-or-nothing campaign. If we do not raise the funds, any donation given through Indiegogo will be returned to the donor on IGG’s published timeline of 7 business days.

  • How much are you charging for events?

    All August events will be free of charge unless otherwise stated. Events in the future, either pop-ups or at Film Row, will vary by event type and are TBD.
