?? From BBC Roots to Ranch Expansion—The Journey Continues! ???? Last year, our cofounder Richard Janes embarked on an epic journey, touring film studios around the globe in search of the best setups to inspire Filmmakers Ranch's expansion—with not one, but TWO brand-new 15,000 sq ft stages and 20,000 sq ft of support space! ?? One of his stops took him back to his roots in the UK at England’s oldest film studio, Ealing Film Studios, where Richard grew up filming shows for the BBC. Talk about a full-circle moment! ??? Walking through those legendary sound stages brought back a flood of memories—and some great inspiration for what’s next at Filmmakers Ranch. Fun fact: The sound insulation on those iconic Ealing stages? Made of straw! Who knew cinematic magic could be so… rustic?! ???? We’re taking everything Richard learned and bringing it back to Oklahoma for some exciting new developments at Filmmakers Ranch.

?? Two Powerhouses, One Epic Journey! In this shot: Filmmakers Ranch Co-Owner and Producer @AmyJanes alongside the star of our feature film Cricket, @skyedakotaturner. ?? Amy Janes has spent 18 years fighting to bring this beautiful story to the screen. It all started when she was in the Producers Program at UCLA, where a screenwriter introduced her to the project that would become her passion. For nearly two decades, she knocked on every door, introducing the film to studios, financiers, and anyone who would listen. But destiny had other plans. It wasn’t until she opened a studio with her husband and partner, Richard Janes, and OKC legend Melodie Garneau, that the dream became a reality. ???? And as fate would have it, Sky Dakota Turner wasn’t even born when Amy first read the script. Now, it all makes sense why it took so long to make—because they were waiting for Sky. Independent film is a true labor of love, full of obstacles, but with perseverance and passion, anything is possible. We can’t wait for you all to experience this remarkable story when it finally hits the screen. ??? #Powerhouses #AmyJanes #SkyDakotaTurner #FilmmakersRanch #CricketFilm #IndependentFilm #PassionProject #ComingSoon

?? EPIC FLASHBACK: The Birth of Our @apexpostproduction Dolby Atmos Mixing Room! ??
