Mission:Created in January 2019, Cherokee Nation Film Office’s mission is to increase the presence of Native Americans in every level of the film and television industries, while creating opportunities for economic development and jobs in the Cherokee Nation.About:More content is being consumed than ever before, and entertainment productions are looking for places to film and the crew to make it happen. Oklahoma is one of the most desirable states for productions based on state incentives, and CNFO invites film and television projects to experience all the Cherokee Nation has to offer. From unique locations in northeastern Oklahoma to talent and crew databases, our film office serves as a liaison for film and television projects. CNFO provides location scouting, consulting and concierge services. In a groundbreaking first, CNFO is creating the only databases of Native American cast, crew and film-friendly businesses for productions to not only use Native talent, but to tell stories with authenticity.
