If you're involved in the New Orleans film community, you need to know about NOVAC.
NOVAC- the New Orleans Video access Center- is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to creating and supporting a sustainable film community in the area.
They put on seminars, rent equipment, run training courses, and offer a job referral service to members. Whether you're looking for a place to meet with other local filmmakers or want to learn how to run a particular piece of equipment, this is a great place to look.
Their main office is out in the Bywater, but they host events and activities all around town.
