BBC piece on New Orleans: Hollywood South

I have a good friend that got involved in lighting back in late 90s. He was always kinda moving from one job to the next, not really knowing what he truly wanted to do. He worked at it for years, got involved in the very beginning of the movie industry here. Now, he has certificates and a pretty impressive resume, works on just about every major production that comes down here.

I would imagine many more stories like this one around. Its cool to witness how well New Orleans has been taken in by Hollywood.
