So I'm in charge of this thing called the Louisiana Film Prize. It's a Shorts Film contest where one filmmaker will walk away with $50,000.
If you around the area, you should pop by and try to win!

The Louisiana Film Prize Contest and Festival (http://www.LAFilmPrize.com) invites filmmakers from all over the world to create and present a short film under one condition – it must be shot in the Shreveport-Bossier area. The winner will receive a grand prize of $50,000.

Filmmakers have five months, from Feb. 1st to July 9th, to produce their film. Each filmmaker will be provided with an ambassador and a team of volunteers, resources and aids to help them with production, housing, promotional events and other needs during their stay.
The top 20 films will be selected to promote and screen their film during the LA Film Prize Festival Weekend, October 12-14. The winner will be chosen based on the votes of a panel of expert judges from all over the country, as well as the vote of the festival audience. Finalists are encouraged to heavily promote their film and enlist support from friends, family and the public to heighten their chances of winning.
“This is a substantial prize that could really change a filmmaker’s life,” said Chris Lyon, the LAFP’s festival director. “This $50,000 could help someone create more short films or even help fund a feature film. It’s a really amazing opportunity for the filmmaker.”
Organizers hope the Louisiana Film Prize will further grow and transform Shreveport-Bossier’s creative community, alongside other existing efforts such as Moonbot Studios, Gorilla Design Studio, CoHab coworking, the Robinson Film Center and artspace.
“Ever since I returned to my hometown, I’ve wanted to find a way to help spur the ongoing evolution of our town into a creative mecca and give our city a national brand as a home to the creative class,” Kallenberg said. “As SXSW transformed Austin, the Louisiana Film Prize will do the same for our region.”
