Casting & Crew Calls

Cherokee Film Commission is posting Casting and Crew Calls for film and television productions based in Oklahoma. This listing connects productions shooting in the region with local cast and crew talent across all departments, from on-camera talent to below-the-line crew working in episodic television and feature film production. It suits working professionals and emerging talent who are actively seeking placement on Native-led and Indigenous-focused productions in the state.

About the Role

Cherokee Film Commission serves as a bridge between productions and the local talent pool in Oklahoma, with a focus on authentic Indigenous storytelling and regional film production. Cast and crew calls posted here may span a range of projects, from documentary-style television to feature films and soundstage productions originating out of Cherokee Film’s facility. A typical engagement means being available for auditions, interviews, or crew placement based on your specific skill set and department.

Key Responsibilities

• Respond to casting calls that align with your on-camera type, experience level, and any prior television or feature film credits.
• Submit accurate crew availability and department-specific experience for productions seeking local hires in Oklahoma.
• Coordinate with production offices during pre-production to confirm availability windows and negotiate terms appropriate to your rate and credit level.
• Maintain current headshots, reels, or portfolio materials that reflect your most recent work in episodic television, commercial production, or independent film.
• Engage with Indigenous-led production workflows and cultural protocols specific to Cherokee Nation Businesses productions when applicable.
• Stay current on active calls by subscribing to Cherokee Film’s industry communications, including the Monthly Montage newsletter.

What You Bring

• Verified experience in your department, whether on-camera talent, grip, post-production, sound, or production management.
• Prior credits in feature film production, documentary television, commercial work, or tribal media are all relevant here.
• Familiarity with regional production culture in Oklahoma and availability for local or nearby shoots.
• SAG-AFTRA membership or non-union status both considered depending on the specific casting or crew call.

Why This Role

Cherokee Film Commission is backed by Cherokee Nation Businesses and led by a team with credits spanning American Zoetrope feature films, Broadway productions, and more than 400 episodes of documentary television. The commission is actively developing a slate of Native-led film and television projects with genuine industry infrastructure behind them, including a functioning soundstage in Oklahoma. This is a real production ecosystem, not a regional film office in name only.
