I work in film and even though its 1099 work, I received a w-2. I also did a lot of driving to different film  locations. I also ran errands and got supplies for the film work. I dont think I received any reibursements from the production team. Can I deduct those miles, even though I technically received a w-2 for those film jobs?

No, an employee cannot deduct job expenses. 

If it's 1099 work, they should issue you a 1099-NEC. 

That way you could claim your expenses, however, you would also be liable for your FICA (Social Security) tax payments.
