In recent years Louisiana has quickly become one of the most popular states for film and television production. Boosted by the state’s lucrative 30% investor tax credit, the industry has grown immensely and continues to spread its roots and deepen the depths of its crew base.

While it may take some convincing to pry production companies, directors, talent and crew away from meccas like Los Angeles and New York, it is an easy sell. Apart from receiving 30% of your in-state spend in tax credits, the cost of living in Louisiana is much lower than in New York or LA (meaning production costs are much lower. Add to that the state’s beauty, the friendly people, the amazing food, the location flexibility and the expanding number of production services available, you’ve got an equation that doesn’t come together anywhere else.

Louisiana isn’t just a state; “it’s a way of life.” And it truly is “The Other LA.”
