Rated PG-13.  Award-winning romantic adventure set in 1859 Louisiana. Belizaire Breaux (played by Armand Assante, in what many say is his best performance) must save a friend's life, win a woman's heart, outfox a crooked sheriff, stop marauding vigilantes, expose an evil villain, and rescue the inheritance of three orphaned children in a picture that blends suspense and humor. Called "a wonderful movie, two thumbs up" by Siskel and Ebert and credited with “the looniest hanging scene ever” by the Hollywood Reporeter. 

 

 

 

The award-winning hour-long Haunted Waters, Fragile Lands follows immigrants to the Mississippi River delta to show how history and ecology transform each other.  Good For What Ails You follows respected "treaters" as they gather wild teas, brew home-made cough syrup, invoke the saints at their home altars, and most of all, heal the sick.

 

 

 

Rated R.  As young American men leave to fight during World War II, German P.O.W.s arrive to work in the Louisiana sugarcane fields. Night after night, explosions light up the sky as enemy U-boats just offshore torpedo American merchant ships. Against the real dangers and explosive paranoia of this besieged home front, a fisherman’s beautiful widow (Academy Award-winner TATUM O’NEAL) and a mysterious European doctor (JULIAN SANDS) somehow find love.  Grand Prize Winner, San Diego Film Festival.  Filmed in Lafourche Parish.

 

 

 

Inspired by the Thibodaux Massacre, when thousands of former slaves went on strike against white plantation owners, the film stars  Emmy Award-winner Eric Braeden, Billy Zane (Titanic), Sean Young (Blade Runner), Armand Assante (American Gangster), Academy Award-winner George Kennedy, Carol Alt (for whom the word "supermodel" was first coined), and --- out of retirement --- former heavyweight champ and star of Mandingo, Ken Norton.  Unrated; merits a hard “R” for disturbing violence, sex, nudity, language, and racial slurs in a historical setting.
