The Cherokee Nation Film Office invites film and television projects to experience all the Cherokee Nation has to offer. From unique locations in northeastern Oklahoma to talent and crew directories, our film office serves as a liaison for your project. Based in Tulsa and Tahlequah, we have strong connections throughout the 14 counties of the Cherokee Nation to meet any film production needs.

“Cherokee Nation is deeply committed to developing the film and recording industry in Oklahoma. The opportunities for continued growth are substantial. We know it can be a powerful economic tool for creating quality jobs and supporting small, family businesses within the communities of the Cherokee Nation reservation. Creating the necessary infrastructure and programs will help this industry flourish and reach its full potential.”
