Midtown District Spotlight
Marvelous Midtown OKC made a dynamic second stop on Prairie Surf's OKC District Tour for partners 405 Magazine and Cadillac!
From the Oklahoma Hall of Fame to a diverse mix of living, retail, entertainment, and dining, Midtown brings vibrant urban living to OKC.
The district's remarkable story of revitalization serves as a testament to Oklahoma City's commitment to growth and innovation.
Featured Work: "Find Your West"
Prairie Surf continues to ride alongside our partners at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum as they roll out the ambitious "Find Your West" campaign!
Our latest with The Cowboy spotlights their new immersive exhibit, designed to take the next generation of museum visitors on a journey through the untamed landscapes and rich history of the Old West.
With 3,000 square feet of floor-to-ceiling LED and interactive projections, the exhibit provided a backdrop as wide as the West itself. We think it really ropes you in. 🌵
Plaza District Spotlight
Working in Oklahoma City offers Prairie Surf opportunities to collaborate with creative people across mediums and industries as our city continues its entrepreneurial and artistic renaissance.
Our partners 405 Magazine and Cadillac invited the Prairie Surf team to spotlight some of the dynamic districts that make OKC so vibrant, as well as the creative geniuses who have led their revitalization.
Episode 1 of the Cadillac District Tour takes Matt Payne Media to the Plaza District. Thanks to Rachel Cope of 84 Hospitality Group and Empire Slice House, Chef Jeff Chanchaleune of Ma Der Lao Kitchen, and Leslie Coale-Mossman and Darcy Schein of Pie Junkie for sharing their thoughts on what makes Plaza District so special.

Featured Work: "Find Your West"
"Entertainment's biggest night" was the perfect placement for a campaign centered on the transformational power of art. Hats off to our partners at The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum who unveiled their new campaign during the Oscars broadcast.
The paintings, sculptures, and artifacts of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum are tethered to fascinating narratives of real people amid the vast and varied landscape of the American West.
Juxtaposed against images of modern life, the iconic American cowboy serves as shorthand for individualism, simplicity, freedom, and a connection to nature.
By inviting people to "Find Your West," the museum offers them an opportunity to see themselves differently after their visit.
Prairie Surf Creative can help you wrangle your next big idea.

Grey Sweater
When working with Grey Sweater by Chef Andrew Black, Prairie Surf Creative needed to capture the concept's sleek and refined aesthetic without sacrificing its signature warmth.
Showcasing the unforgettable flavors of OKC's James Beard Award-winning Chef (2023, Best Chef: Southwest) without the benefit of smell or taste was a challenge, but the team (including Director Clarissa Cozzoni and
Cinematographer & Editor: Alex Semikopenko) created a worthy visual feast.
Thanks, Chef Black and Grey Sweater for your continued partnership and this memorable look into your work!
"There's an awakening in Oklahoma City that's happening because of what the people have been through and what they bring to the table."
-Tony Tee
Prairie Surf Creative has been fortunate to work with or profile many of the diverse artists who make Oklahoma their home throughout 2023. As we reflect on our first year, this quote continues to resonate.
Oklahoma City's creative renaissance is on display in this series of videos we created for Visit OKC earlier this year. Prairie Surf Creative is proud to count ourselves a part of the vibrant artistic community that Tony describes.
Looking forward to another year of exploration and collaboration in 2024!

2022 Douglass High School Football Hype Video
Down, set, shoot.
For several months, our team worked closely with the Film Education Institute of Oklahoma, Notis Studios, and Oklahoma City Public Schools to launch film programs across high schools, including Douglass, Capitol Hill, and Northwest Classen.
In addition to establishing the program’s hub – Scissortail Studios – located inside Douglass High School, Prairie Surf Creative produced a hype video for the Douglass High School football team in collaboration with their students. This experience allowed students to gain on-set experience working alongside professionals in the industry.
We’re incredibly proud of this project – and the opportunities these programs provide for our community’s youth.
