But there is more to picking up phones and making calls to ask for help. This is just one of the things to be taken into consideration. Many think that getting in the business is all you need to accomplish, well this is one thing but actually staying in the business is another. Kendrick Hudson is the part owner of Louisiana Production Rentals located in Bossier City.

He saw how the need of furniture is becoming a trend with the incoming of the film industry in Louisiana , so he opened a business. He works in production management, the company provides production support supplies such as pop-up canopies, wardrobe racks and director’s chairs. His business just opened this month and yet they are already working with a film that stars Tommy Lee Jones. This is currently shooting in south of Louisiana .

According to Hudson , you have to take your time to do research. Use all the resources available to you. This is what makes it challenging, finding out who and what is coming to the area and getting a hold of them at the right time and making sure of course that you have a competitive product to offer. Take the initiative to actually find work and not just letting it find you especially now that most local businesses are into the same thing, you have to stay on top, you have to find ways to stay in there. You may need to attend meetings that are held monthly and publicly.

This is another tip by Claire France who is a director at Robinsons Film Center. During these events you may find out which films are in the area. You can learn about them and submit calling cards, company profiles to upcoming hirings. This is one way to make a connection and to find out about these productions.
