XR Extreme Reach (XR), a global technology company that powers the creative economy, announced expanded opportunities for their clients in Oklahoma.

As an official state vendor, XR can enable its film and television production clients that select Oklahoma for their on-location destination to earn back their payroll handling fee as a qualifying expenditure through Oklahoma’s incentive program.

XR provides expert professional services to help guide production companies through a myriad of compliance, health benefits, market regulations, and production incentives that may be overlooked.

As Oklahoma provides a variety of filming options, local organizations such as Oklahoma Film + Music, support and connect local, national and international filmmakers with the state’s skilled crew, talent, production services and diverse locations which span across 12 eco-regions.

“Oklahoma’s incentive program has experienced continual growth with film and television productions spending over $300 million and creating thousands of local jobs over the last 10 years,” said Kathleen Thompson, XR’s vice president of incentives and sales. “Producers love to work in this beautiful state as it’s very production friendly, and they appreciate the value of incentives. We are extremely honored to support the Oklahoma production community.”

“With the growth of the Oklahoma film and television industry, it’s great to see so many new businesses investing in our state,” said Oklahoma Film + Music Office Director, Jeanette Stanton.

“The arrival of XR Extreme Reach in Oklahoma as a recognized state vendor allows productions utilizing the state’s rebate program to locally qualify their payroll handling fees. It’s been a pleasure working with the company on their expansion, and we’re thrilled to welcome their innovative, professional services as an asset for future business consideration.”

XR brings productions to life with technology and expertise that enables them to operate on time, on budget and in compliance – all from a single partner. From talent and production payroll to expertise in labor relations, tax and benefits, XR can help ensure continuous compliance, eliminate liability and protect people and productions.
