Just as I file a story about nine local projects for The Shreve, the state goes and releases its monthly list of what's being made where. I thought I was days ahead, dagnabit! For the record, I beat 'em by about 15 minutes.
(For those of you who don't break news for a living, you have permission to slap me. But don't ever call me Shirley.)
Below is the state's release with all the phone numbers. My story includes a bit more info, including star and director tidbits.

Be nice if the LA Film Commission actually issued info when it was relevant to those of us working in the industry. We really need their site up to date and functional and practical for everyone in the state.
There are close to 20 projects in some stage of development between Shreveport, Baton Rouge, and New Orleans. I would have to think that right now the film industry is easily one of the larger contributors to the states economy.
Certainly this year will top last year.
