We believe that cinema spreads ideas and that new voices from diverse backgrounds are fundamental to the advancement of the artform as well as the global conversations it inspires.

Through programs that break down traditional barriers to access we can discover new talent in our region, and empower storytellers to use cinema as a means of expression. We will help develop a vibrant community of filmmakers, artists, actors, and technicians making groundbreaking work that reflects the singular culture of New Orleans and the gulf-south.

​We seek out original voices, challenge artists to grow their craft, and foster radical collaborations; we provide storytellers with access to tools, training, and an inspiring community of mentors and peers. Our building complex will become a creative hub where this community can flourish. We connect New Orleans artists to audiences and creative voices beyond the city.

Our approach celebrates the fundamentally collaborative nature of filmmaking. We aim to support not only writers and directors, but also visual artists, musicians, photographers and the many makers whose voices contribute to a film. It is our core belief that film should be experienced, created, and in communication with all types of artforms and artists. Our building complex in New Orleans will become a creative hub where these types of collaborations can flourish.
