Oklahoma City, Friday, May 10, 2019 – Oklahoma City Thunder Films will debut its latest piece, “Growing Up George” at Oklahoma City’s deadCenter Film Festival on Saturday, June 8, at 9 p.m. The animated short was produced in partnership with the George family and Deep Sky Studios of Portland, Oregon. It is inspired by the art work of Thunder global super fan Nanae Yamano of Japan (on Instagram at perspective_7a).
The four-minute animated short shows how the strong influence of Paul George’s mother Paulette and sister Teiosha helped shape the All-Star into the person, parent and athlete he is today.
