THE DILLARD FILM PROGRAM

In 2005, fair Dillard University in New Orleans, LA was almost wiped off the map by Hurricane Katrina. Now, in 2017, bolstered by tax incentives that made Louisiana the number one state for film production and a new University President that named the Dillard Film Program one of two Signature Programs at Dillard in 2015, we have become THE destination location for young filmmakers entering the entertainment business.

Get On Set

Edward Buckles worked shoulder-to-shoulder with Spike Lee making OLDBOY.

Ernest Robertson learned directly from department heads. A Key Grip on a million dollar feature taught him how to use all our grip equipment the right way.

Get Paid

Christine Maiden got the Denzel Washington free ride to go to Dillard and, like many students, got paid to learn while working on film sets while in school.
