I live in Tulsa. I was a background actor and drove to Pawhuska every morning for about three weeks. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
You could tell how seriously they were taking the story. I saw Marty talking with Osage consultants regularly. They were meticulous about our costumes and props being period-specific. (I couldn't even wear my rose gold wedding ring, which I seriously doubt would have been visible on-screen.) The main actors were kind. Producer and 1st AD Adam Somner was fantastic in how he ran the show. The vibe was infectious in general, and Marty's obvious love for cinema and dedication to telling this story rubbed off on everyone.
I am not Osage, but I'd estimate about a third or more of the extras were. Everyone was respectful and reverent of the story they were trying to tell. It was an electric environment to be a part of. Maybe all movie sets are like that, but it felt to me like we were making something special... or at least attempting to.
