Open call for Louisiana horror filmmakers: Submit a short for NOVAC's 'Swamp Screams' night by September 29th - Fable House 09/15/2023

The temperatures have cooled. I wrap my neck in a nice knitted boa, the color of fall foliage. My fall latte is steaming. It’s dusk in September, time for quaint festivals and–

Somebody knocks.

I swing open the door with my latte and a person dressed in a Scream costume wields a rubber butcher knife.

“Blahhhh!” they screech.

I stand, unamused. They slap the latte out of my hands.

“No time for quaint fall slumbers!” they yell. “Gotta get your short film into NOVAC for “Swamp Screams” by September 29th!”

They scamper out into the yard and hunch down behind the hydrangea bush. A Scream mask head pops up over and ducks back down.

“I still see you!”

I leave my coffee lying on the porch. He’s right. This is no time for apple cider and flea markets.

It’s scream season, and there are horror films to be made.

NOVAC is calling–okay, screaming for–Louisiana horror filmmakers to submit short films by September 29th. Read on to find out how.

Louisiana Sound Mixers Assemble: A Post-Production Worker Directory | We'll Fix It In Post 09/13/2023

The stampeding hooves of buffalo in Dances with Wolves. The guttural rumble of the T-rex in Jurassic Park. How about the sound of the surf and wind in Cast Away?

These films captivated audiences with their scores, their stories, and their terror. Tying all of this action and sound together for maximum impact was a team of master sound recordists.

Louisiana now exists as one of the big four film-producing states, behind Georgia but ahead of cinematic meccas like California and New York. Yeah, the strikes have choked out the workforce the same way Adam Sandler throttled that golf caddy in Happy Gilmore, but work will return, and it’s vital that our industry’s artists are visible and accessible.

As part of wellfixitinpost.com Louisiana post-production worker series, here is a directory of everything you need to know about Louisiana sound mixers.

A 2023 New Orleans Film Festival Lineup Preview - Fable House 09/08/2023

There’s that scene - right up there as an iconic cinematic moment with scenes from The Godfather and Citizen Kane - in Space Jam, 1996, where it’s the night of the big game between the Looney Tunes and the Monstars. Cars of creatures wait in line. The city is aglow with anticipation, and Pump Up The Jam introduces the locker room of the Tune Squad.

This is how I imagine the city of New Orleans will look right around the evening of November 2nd. Street vendors saunter through the stalled headlights of animated crowds of Louisiana filmmakers lined up outside Second Line Stages and the Prytania Uptown Theatre as they anticipate the opening night of the 2023 New Orleans Film Fest. All of this commotion, of course, occurs against the backdrop of Pump Up The Jam.

It might not roll out quite so ostentatious, but the baseline is this: filmmakers and movie lovers alike can start to plan for the 34th annual New Orleans Film Festival.

Read on for a preview of films from each of the six categories that will screen from November 2nd to 7th at one of the biggest annual Oscar-qualifying festivals for Louisiana and Southern filmmakers.

ICVR’s Animated Primitive Candlemaker Short 'Lightfall' Is the Latest Unreal Project To Win an Epic MegaGrant | We'll Fix It In Post 09/07/2023

A giddy contestant hops up and down in front of a studio audience, sweating profusely, as they spin a giant colorful wheel that is an amalgam of Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right. The wheel clicks to a stop and the spray-tanned host reads a placard:

“You’ve won a…an Epic MegaGrant to complete your CG short film in Unreal Engine 5?”

The audience boos and the host frowns. Only the contestant remains giddy. They run onstage and fist pump.

“Oh, my gosh. I cannot wait to create lush textured landscapes in stunning real-time virtual production. Thank you.”

The host mutters to an assistant, “What am I missing? They could’ve won a nice, new toaster.”

ICVR, a digital game development and virtual production studio out of Los Angeles, didn’t have to spin any wheels. What possibly happened when they learned they had acquired an Epic MegaGrant for their animated short film, Lightfall, is that they felt relief and gratitude.

#CreateLouisiana Grant Winner and Lafayette Director Drake LeBlanc Explores Creole Trail Riding Culture with 'Footwork' - Fable House 09/01/2023

The American West is very much alive, but it may not look like white ranchers sipping whiskey in saloons. In Southwestern Louisiana and East Texas, weekend horseback riders carry the tradition of 18th-century Black cowboys, and it is this pocket of living Creole tradition that Director Drake LeBlanc explored in his -winning documentary short film Footwork.

The CreateLouisiana annual grant, technically known as the French Culture Film Grant, began in 2015 as a showcase for French and Francophone culture, with a $25,000 cash prize awarded to a film in either Documentary or Narrative Short format.

What do Elf, Black Panther, Get Out, and Jurassic Park have in common? The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra - Fable House 08/26/2023

Will Ferrell is in his Buddy the Elf costume and he stands atop a Wakanda hilltop with a spear. In the backdrop, oil-chested Jeff Goldblum braces himself next to a screaming Laura Dern as they escape a T-rex in a Jeep. Nonchalantly in the middle of this mayhem, Daniel Kaluuya gets hypnotized in an armchair by Catherine Keener as she stirs her tea.

Unfortunately, this piece of chaos cinema hasn’t been practically realized yet. But take each film individually, and you’ve got four movies with pretty kick-butt scores. The only thing that could possibly amplify this experience - besides a bucket of cholesterol disguised as popcorn - would be the power of a live orchestral score.

Over the next six months, New Orleans moviegoers can experience exactly that.

The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra will perform live to Get Out, Jurassic Park, Elf, and Black Panther at theaters around New Orleans as part of its 2023-2024 concert season. Read more to find out about the dates and venues where you can experience the passion of a live orchestral performance.

“Sir. Sir!”

I come out of the daze. I’m in line at the Great Hall in the New Orleans Convention Center.

“Sir, here is your three-day pass. Do you have any questions?

I gaze around the convention hall. A murmur of excited conversation is traveling the room. Interactive displays glitter with cosmic color palettes. There are no Ewoks.

Baton Rouge-filmed 'Chances' story of hope after gun violence trauma will debut at Celebrity Theatres on August 19th- Fable House 08/11/2023

A local man was taken to an area hospital last night with gunshot wounds to the torso in a suspected gang shooting. The unidentified man is stable and expected to survive. It is unclear at this time if the victim will choose to re-evaluate his life and change course from a path of certain self-destruction.

That’s not quite how the news releases go. Gunshots echo off the neighborhood windows, someone dies, and the community experiences the quiet grief and altered nervous systems of collective trauma.

Director and New Orleans native Scott R. Sullivan has chosen to tell a story about this underrepresented facet of gun violence with his latest feature film, Chances. Not the bodies in the street, not the immediate aftermath, but the aftermath of the aftermath.

Chances will have its world premiere at Celebrity Theatres in Baton Rouge on Saturday, August 19th. Read more about our discussion with Director Scott Sullivan and how to get tickets for a story shot entirely in Baton Rouge.

The Art With Impact 2023-2024 grant open call asks filmmakers from animation to documentary to spotlight struggle in a five-minute film | We'll Fix It In Post 08/01/2023

Nobody watches the filmmaker who sits alone in a cutting room and chops scenes while consumed with grief. The VFX artist who takes a moment in-studio to go to the bathroom with a welling beehive of anxiety might do so in silence. The mental burdens we carry are often done so behind a curtain of workmanlike motion.

Now, there’s a short-film grant open call asking filmmakers to take the issues we often fight through in the dark and shine a camera on them.

Art With Impact holds an annual grant open call for its “Voices With Impact” grant of $7,500 awarded to ten filmmaking teams. The two 2023-2024 themes are films centered around “Cliques & Echo Chambers” or “Serious Mental Illness.”

It’s one of the core pieces of being human. When we struggle, when our world feels like cascading waves or a dull heaviness of overwhelm, there’s one thing to do with it:

It doesn’t have to be that difficult.

The first episode of Southern Storytellers aired on Tuesday, July 18th, and it explores artists’ ties to their Southern upbringings - Billy Bob Thornton, Mary Steenburgen, Adia Victoria, David Joy, and Jericho Brown all discuss how their Southern backgrounds influenced their music and writing.

SAG-AFTRA strike decision updates and reactions: All the heroes and killers and elves unite - Fable House 07/14/2023

The looming 2023 WGA-SAG-AFTRA joint strike is unlikely to be paved with spectacle. This is not a Marvel movie - this is the cynical indie film where an out-of-work day player contemplatively stands in a kitchen and chews through a piece of peanut butter bread. It is the writer remembering what it was like to wait tables. It is the spouse telling their partner that this fall may get rough but they will not lose what they built.

The alliance of storytellers familiar with embodying interstellar travel and Victorian politics may have one role this summer: to stand as one body for as long as it takes.

With SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP negotiations crumbling, here are the updates and responses surrounding an impending SAG-AFTRA strike.

2021’s ‘Dune’ vs. 1990’s ‘Tremors’: The shared prehistoric DNA between two generations of bad-ass worms | We'll Fix It In Post 07/13/2023

In the mid-90s, TNT was the champion of Tremors. Fourth of July comes around and the lightning bugs are out? You know there’s gonna be a TNT Tremors marathon. Steaming myself on the porch one summer day, I first got a taste of this so-called “Tremors” franchise by overhearing my brother inside the neighbor’s living room:

“Oh my God, this Tremors has the ass blasters worms. Those are ass blasters!”

I watched Dune for the first time this summer. It had been on my long list and it was time to venture out into the Arrakis desert land. As the first sighting of this bristle-toothed land monster erupted from showers of soil, all I could think was:

“Are these Dune worms ass blasters?”

It turns out that, no, the Dune worms are not ass blasters. They are the Shai-Hulud, or for our intent and purposes - they are big-ass visual effects.

Because it’s the comparison we deserve, but not the one we need right now. Shush, Commissioner Gordon. Doesn’t matter if we need it. Let’s talk about movie worms.

2021’s ‘Dune’ vs. 1990’s ‘Tremors’: The shared prehistoric DNA between two generations of bad-ass worms | We'll Fix It In Post An audience unfamiliar with the Dune universe might say, “Dune totally ripped off their sandworm idea from Tremors.” But Frank Herbert wrote the original Dune in 1965, so maybe Tremors is the real ripper-offer here.

The post-production elements seasoning the galactic stew of ‘Rebel Moon’ | We'll Fix It In Post 07/06/2023

A breathless director rushes into a studio executive’s office - this creator is a composite of 2010s Denis Villeneuve and 1977 George Lucas. He storms straight through a production meeting and slams a 110-page script down in the middle of a conference table:

“I’ve got it,” he says. “The epic space opera you need - it’s like Dune meets Star Wars meets Mad Max meets Blade Runner.”

The man’s chest heaves. He waits for undulating praise. A studio exec flips through the pages and looks up:

“Zach Snyder is already doing this movie.”

“But…but how?”

“Been in the works for like, 20 years, dude. Here, this is everyone who has worked on it in post-production…”

The studio exec slides a binder across the table that reads something like this.

S*xy old-timey vampire violence moves from NOLA to Prague for ‘Interview with the Vampire’ Season Two - Fable House 06/23/2023

S*x. Love. Sleek old-timey vampire violence. Those were the ingredients for the first season of AMC’s Interview with the Vampire.

AMC’s “Immortal Universe” opened in the fall of 2022 with the first season of Interview with the Vampire. AMC acquired the literary rights to 18(!) titles, which means the Anne Rice vampire world will keep expanding until Vin Diesel shows up on AMC in fangs, saying, “It’s about family.”

Contrary to productions that utilize Louisiana solely for its locations and tax incentives, Interview with the Vampire (like so many Anne Rice stories) is built explicitly within New Orleans.

As Season Two now films in locations from New Orleans to Prague, here are a few tidbits about whether Interview with the Vampire will maintain its status as a “Louisiana-centric story.”

The speaker lineup at the 2023 VIEW Conference is like the Space Jam Dream Team of VFX and animation | We'll Fix It In Post 06/21/2023

It’s 1996, Space Jam is on the big screen, and the elite NBA players have had their talent stolen by the wimpy Nerdluck aliens. Weeks later, Charles Barkley promises never to gamble again from a psychologist’s chair. Shawn Bradley, Larry Johnson, and Mugsy Bogues follow a doctor through the hall after getting lab-tested for their talent loss.

It’s 2023, and a totally rational mind might imagine a bumbling pack of those little Monstar aliens will be camped out in Turin, Italy between October 15th and October 20th, trying to suck the talent out of the assembled Dream Team of VFX and animation artists.
