Welcome to Nola Go Indie

Hi there.
This isn't a blog for Hollywood producers. So if that's you, you can either stop reading now or, preferably, send us loads of cash to entice us to sell out to Hollywood. Just joking. Sort of.
The fact is, New Orleans has a lot of stuff going on film-wise, but all you hear about much of the time are the big mega-productions that already have all the crew and cast and money and distribution deals they need. This is a place to talk about all the other stuff.
If you're an independent producer, director or filmmaker in Louisiana, this blog is for you. If you're an aspiring DP, or actor, or AC, or art director, or whatever- and you're trying to figure out how to break into the business- you'll likely find something of interest here, too.
In other words, this blog is for the little guys…although if you're on your way to making it big or if you started out small and you have something to share that would benefit people who are where you once were, you're welcome, too.
My plans for this blog include providing profiles of and links to things you- a local filmmaker- should know about if you're going to be making movies here. I'll also probably spend some time discussing current issues in filmmaking – and how those issues affect Nola film folk. I'm not above promoting my own projects- and those of my friends and associates- so if you've got something in the works that you'd like to let people know about, drop me a line and I might make mention of it here. Part of being an indie filmmaker is being supportive of other indie filmmakers.
I hope some of you find our blog useful. If you do, go ahead and share our blog link on Facebook, G+, or Twitter, email a link to your friends, or subscribe to our feed so you never miss a post.
Thanks for stopping by regardless. Now go out there and make something!
