Louisiana has redesigned its website for entertainment industry professionals doing business in the state.
LouisianaEntertainment.gov offers four options in the sector – film, music, interactive and live performance – where users can learn about incentives, locations, crew and talent, business resources and projects for each.
A news release says the website simplifies the process of researching the state’s incentive programs and applying for them. Interactive maps provide pop-out information about local film offices, stages, recording studios and more. A travel distance calculator allows producers to estimate the driving time between Louisiana’s cities. The website also includes a searchable database of locations, accommodations, talent, crew and more.
Participants in the programs last year delivered $170 million in Louisiana resident payroll and generated $366 million in total in-state expenditures for their productions, according to Louisiana Economic Development Secretary Don Pierson.
