Attention Local Crew Members: There has been an opportunity going around to various crew members for a short film production promising high rates for a Production Assistant position. It is in our estimation this is a false project that is intended to be a phishing scheme. PLEASE NOTE: If you are ever promised high rates and asked to secure locations or equipment with a blank check, this is not a normal request. If you receive this type of email please let us know or simply ignore it. Thank you to those who have made us aware of these! If you have additional questions, please contact GCFC Production Coordinator Mike Wendt at mwendt@clevelandfilm.com.
