Tulsa looks to capitalize on film, music industries

Tulsa World: Mayor Dewey Bartlett and City Councilor Blake Ewing are hoping to position Tulsa to capitalize on the film and music industries. "There is a direct tie between the top cities that draw young, creative people," Ewing said. "The common trait is that those cities are also the top cities for film and music, such as Austin (Texas) and Portland (Ore.)." Bartlett said that because of Tulsa's rich heritage in music and film, it makes "perfect sense" to pursue the effort in an official manner.
