Brooklyn-based and NYC native, Cheyenne Cage is a film producer with over a decade of experience in the industry. Cheyenne produces work that illuminates unique perspectives, expanding our understanding of underrepresented experiences. She has produced feature films that have premiered at Sundance, SXSW, and the Tribeca Film Festival. 

​

In 2021, Cheyenne co-founded a grassroots organizing movement to address issues facing production workers on commercials, including but not limited to: unpaid labor, lack of rest, stagnant wages, lack of access to healthcare and retirement plans, and the lack of effective solutions to increase diversity in the industry. Within two years of launching the movement, the Production Workers Guild, IATSE Local 111 was voluntarily recognized and formed, effectively unionizing the only crafts that had been historically omitted from union representation on commercial sets, including Production Assistants. Alongside IATSE leadership, Cheyenne is an integral member of the team that is currently in negotiations for the union's first contract. As a co-founder of Local 111, she continues to work closely with members to develop the foundation and infrastructure for the union, which will benefit thousands of commercial production workers nationwide. 

 

Working in labor has further expanded her skills and passion for transformative justice work. She fosters communities that encourage people of mixed backgrounds to work together to collectively address structural barriers and develop equitable pathways for growth. Similar to her approach to film, Cheyenne believes that our differences as individuals make us stronger as a collective. She continues to facilitate work that amplifies the diversity of the human experience, paving the way for deeper understanding and collective healing.
