Moore, Tourist Commissioner & Film Pointe Committee Member Carrying On The Legacy Promoting Filming In Pointe Coupee Parish

Check Out Film Pointe Filming is alive and well once again in Louisiana thanks to the renewed tax credits for the state. That means special opportunities for each and every parish to benefit in many ways. Bringing in film and video productions has enormous benefits to the state as well as each community that is filmed in. Including but certainly not limited to economic, tourism, and just putting us “on the map” to name a few. Pointe Coupee parish is in a great position to take all advantages of productions interested in filming here. One person who saw the opportunity and ran with it is Mrs. Jeanie Andre, Director of Tourism in Pointe Coupee. Seeing that Pointe Coupee could fill the needs of many producers looking to film in Louisiana, she organized Film Pointe in 2013. It’s a local Filming Committee whose purpose is to attract and cater to film and television producers and location scouts looking for their perfect place to film.  Here is a list of productions Film Pointe has worked with and helped to attract to film in Pointe Coupee: Click Here: The Film List Click Here To View A List of People or Businesses That Have Made Money From The Film Industry Become A Film Pointe Member Today Contact: Jeanieandre727@gmail.com Phone: (225) 638-3998
