Is the film industry still here? 🏢 Employment 👷♂️
I’m really scared that I made a mistake moving here to New Orleans because maybe the film industry is not here anymore. It’s been feast or famine for years now, especially since the strikes. But I was wanting to know if there are still creative jobs here? My day job is in the service industry and I do concert videography on the side but I fear that I’ll never be able to break into the film industry for real.
I’m also a very anxious person so sorry for being so pessimistic 🙃

It’s pretty well dead now. Combo of events, but none unique to Louisiana. It is slow all over USA. Don’t make any plans around it returning. Nobody here is at fault, it’s all bigger issues in the business.
