"This is our big stage. It’s over 26,000 square feet. As you can see, we’re well into construction of a set here for Geostorm.”
We’re in a giant warehouse. To be exact, we’re on the NASA campus in New Orleans East.
There’s no question that the industry is growing in Louisiana. There’s also no question why.
“It’s quite simple: you spend a dollar in Louisiana, we give you thirty cents back,” says Chris Stelly, executive director of Louisiana Entertainment, the film and TV division of the state’s economic development department.
The revisions guaranteed that if a production spends more than $300,000 in Louisiana, the state will issue a tax credit for 30 percent of its expenditures. This resulted in a 175 percent increase in the volume of production.
Herbert Gains hopes that his upcoming movie Geostorm will make it rain all over Louisiana’s economy.
The carpentry workshop at Big Easy Studios (
