# Local Casting

There are several local casting agents (both extras and principals) and talent agents in Oregon. The [OMPA directory](http://ompa.org/directory) has a section dedicated to [Talent Services](https://ompa.org/directory/category/talent-services/) which includes sections on [Casting Directors](https://ompa.org/search/?geodir_search=1&stype=gd_directory&s=Casting+Director&snear=&spost_category%5B%5D=3215&slocated_in%5B%5D=&saffiliation%5B%5D=&slanguage%5B%5D=&srepresentation%5B%5D=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=) and [Extras Casting](https://ompa.org/search/?geodir_search=1&saz=&stype=gd_directory&s=Casting%3A%20Extras&snear=&spost_category%5B%5D=3215&slocated_in%5B%5D=&saffiliation%5B%5D=&slanguage%5B%5D=&srepresentation%5B%5D=&sgeo_lat=&sgeo_lon=).

Additionally, talent looking for casting opportunities can also check out some of these community groups which often post casting announcements on their social media accounts. We do see opportunities for work being posted on several FB groups like [Portland Film Community](https://www.facebook.com/groups/portlandfilmcommunity), [CrewUp Portland](https://www.facebook.com/groups/687990475005248), [Portland Film Collaboratio](https://www.facebook.com/groups/portlandfilmcollaboration)n, [Lane County Filmmakers](https://www.facebook.com/groups/349066942564845), [Klamath Film](http://klamathfilm.org) and [Portland Indie Film Networking](https://www.facebook.com/groups/pdxifne), amongst others.
