Contact your area's film commission for potential crew jobs. Film commissions are usually nonprofit and exist to attract the attention of production companies searching for an adequate shooting location. Most cities require producers to gain permission from the film commission to shoot on public property. Film commissions connect local crew members and talent with production companies planning to shoot locally.
Visit the film commission website at least once a month in search of any new posts. Many commission's websites are updated frequently with companies looking for workers. Subscribe to your commission's blog for email alerts or call the commission's hot line for updates if a subscription service is not available.
Contact local studios and production houses directly. Many film commissions' websites have a list of the local studios recognized as legitimate companies. Send an email to the studio or call the phone number listed on the commission's website directly. Be sure to include your resume and any specific skills in your email.
