| How Can We Help? |
Sue and I have been collecting original Louisiana movie posters since the mid 1970s when we were dating. This evolved into becoming collectors, dealers, retail store owners, whoesalers and eventually into researchers. We have published 24 reference books on international, national and local movie paper and have (by far) the largest collection of original Louisiana movie paper and images in the state. We have used our research and collection in a very wide variety of areas from museum  exhibits, lectures, and presentations to research and images for authors.
So... What is YOUR interest and how can we help YOU? For individuals First, you might want to look at the horizontal navbar on the Hollywood On The Bayou homepage. If you are looking for a Louisiana title or to see if it was made in Louisiana, use the pulldown "La. Film History". There we have Louisiana titles by Year, by Parish or by Title. If you want our La. in Film newsletters or Louisiana trailer, use the pulldown "La. in Film".
