Seeking 3 Apprentices for Rebate Film OKC/Guthrie

Job Position(s): Seeking 3 Apprentices for Rebate Film OKC/Guthrie

The Oklahoma Film + Music Office is hiring three Apprentices for a rebate film production based in Oklahoma City and Guthrie, Oklahoma. These apprentice positions are embedded directly in active film production, supporting department workflows that qualify under Oklahoma’s film incentive rebate program. This role suits an early-career crew member who wants structured, on-set experience on a state-incentivized feature film production rather than an unpaid internship with no real department access.

About the Role

The three Seeking Apprentices for Rebate Film positions sit within the broader crew structure of a production moving between Oklahoma City and Guthrie, two communities that are part of Oklahoma’s Film Friendly certification network. Each apprentice is assigned to support a working department, whether that is production, art, or camera, following the daily rhythms of a live shoot. The role is designed to bridge classroom-level knowledge and actual episodic or feature film production workflow.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the assigned department head through prep, shoot days, and wrap, following standard production scheduling and call sheet protocols.
• Assist with on-set logistics including equipment tracking, continuity notes, or department-specific documentation depending on placement.
• Learn and apply proper chain-of-command communication across departments during active shooting days on a state-rebate-qualified production.
• Participate in location-based production in both Oklahoma City and Guthrie, adapting to changing daily schedules as the shoot moves between sites.
• Contribute to department tasks that directly support deliverables tied to Oklahoma’s film incentive rebate compliance and reporting requirements.
• Observe and assist with the practical workflows that connect on-set work to post-production handoff, building a foundation across the full production pipeline.

What You Bring

• Entry-level or apprentice-tier background in film or television production, with some hands-on set or student production experience preferred.
• Familiarity with standard production paperwork including call sheets, one-liners, or department reports.
• Comfort working variable hours on a feature film production schedule across multiple Oklahoma locations.
• A working knowledge of at least one production department, whether camera, grip, art, or production office.

Why This Role

The Oklahoma Film + Music Office operates the state’s film incentive program and has direct ties to productions choosing Oklahoma specifically for its rebate structure, which means apprentices here are working on projects with real financial backing and professional crew. Oklahoma has certified 46 Film Friendly communities, and productions in this network tend to be crew-forward environments that treat apprentice positions as actual crew. This is a rare chance to get legitimate feature film production credits in a state with a growing production footprint.
