is a television
program that showcases short Films, animations, and informative
pieces that highlight filmmaking as well as spotlight the film community
in the New Orleans area. Our focus is on local filmmakers, but we
will also be scouring the region and the world for quality films

area film happenings, and cutting edge original content.
is founded on and
remains committed to presenting film, animations, and
fi lmmakers to a broader audience with a uniquely New Orleans feel
and presentation. This can mean many things to many people, but
the fact the producers are New Orleans natives gives the show and
its companion website a distinctive perspective. A perspective as
inimitable and complex as the city of New Orelans itself.
The show, coupled with an informative website, www.timecodenola.com,
forms a hub to unite the film community in the Gulf South region.
Amy Baskin, Executive Director of the New Orleans Video Access Center
says, “provides
a wonderful much needed service in the New Orleans media community.
New Orleans is home to incredible talent which up until now has
been a well kept secret.” She goes on to say that, “ focuses on media makers, presenters, and media service
organizations to showcase filmmaking activity, the challenges that
filmmakers face, and outstanding achievement in independent filmmaking
in New Orleans.
focuses on local
filmmakers but scours the region and the world for quality films
that are being made outside the mainstream. “I think that
if, in New Orleans, if we could all come together and have a central
message board type of place like the show then, I mean, that's perfect. That's what needs
to happen. “I really think New Orleans is simmering in the
whole boiling pot of ?lm. It could be great. Turn up the heat and
it could be a remarkable film town.” --- Jeremy Campbell,
Flicker Independent Film Festival: New Orleans.
We plan to market the program by sponsoring several events ranging
from monthly film
screenings, sponsoring film festivals, and film forums featuring
guest speakers from the film
industry.
The show's marketing potential is unlimited due to the proliferation
of inexpensive high-quality digital video cameras and editing systems
as well as the newly found excitement for film in
Louisiana due the rejuvenated emphasis on film in Louisiana. To
say nothing of the emphasis
Louisiana political leaders have put on making Louisiana and New
Orleans a filmmaking center.
With the success of the Independent Film Channel, Bravo, Sundance
Channel, and independent theaters such as Canal Place, films the niche for local/regional independent cinema
in the Gulf South and beyond.
