What's the Show About?
Timecode: NOLA is a Non Profit Organization dedicated to 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 that are being made outside the mainstream. Besides merely presenting quality short films, Timecode: NOLA also provides interviews with the artists, information on New Orleans area film happenings, and cutting edge original content.Timecode: NOLA 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, Timecode: NOLA 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, Timecode: NOLA 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.Timecode: NOLA 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 Timecode: NOLA 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, Timecode: NOLA films the niche for local/regional independent cinema in the Gulf South and beyond.
