Here, you'll find who's hiring across the local industry, from film and TV to theater, and everything in between.
Because many skills transfer across these sectors, every opportunity is a chance to grow your career, expand your network, and gain experience that helps keep Northeast Ohio's creative sector growing.
An important note to Production Crew: We want to bring your attention to potential scams that are targeting Northeast Ohio crew. There are fake production companies that may reach out to you, saying they have a series, short film, or feature film they are looking to film in the region. They send a fraudulent check to purchase some supplies and tell the crew member that they can keep what is left after buying the supplies. PLEASE IGNORE THESE AND REPORT THEM TO US! Read the blog below to learn more.
