Did you miss the premiere of THE CULTIVATION OF YIELD at DeadCenter Film Festival last year? 📣 Banner news, friends…this genius SPARK! documentary by Zachary Burns screens in Stillwater at the Red Dirt Film Fesitval!

Directed by Award-winning filmmaker and SPARK! company member Zachary Burns, The Cultivation of YIELD documents how this creative exploration to heal a community blossomed into a history-making project, YIELD: We Belong to the Land at Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center in May 2022. 

Responding to the effects of the pandemic and an era of fear, loss and injustice that further fractured and siloed our community, a diverse group of 25 Oklahoma artists came together, with over 300 members of the OKC community, to explore the importance of – and our connection to – the land beneath our feet. Through music, poetry, dance, theater, visual art, and the humanities, SPARK! Creative Lab celebrated the land and people of Oklahoma City, in all its complex glory.
