A city that makes you feel something
Every filmmaker has a city that changed the way they see things. For us, that city was New Orleans. We came because this place has a pulse — a rhythm that seeps into everything you make here.
When we first walked through the warehouse, it was 22,000 square feet of concrete, dust, and possibility. It was a blank slate. Just space and a feeling that something important was supposed to happen here.
From warehouse to creative compound
It took the better part of a year to build out the facility. The stage with a cyclorama (cyc) wall. A color editing suite. Green rooms. A gallery that doubles as a meeting or filming space. Every decision came back to the same question: does this serve the work?
Why place matters
There's a reason so many filmmakers are drawn to New Orleans. The light here is different — golden and heavy, especially in the late afternoon. The people are generous with their time and their stories. The music is everywhere, not as background noise, but as a living, breathing part of daily life.
We've found that the films we make here carry something extra. A warmth. A groundedness. Maybe it's the humidity. Maybe it's the culture. Either way, it shows up on screen.
What comes next
Fish Pot is still growing. We're expanding our post-production capabilities, bringing in new collaborators, and developing original projects alongside our commercial and music video work. We are currently building out a full sound recording and editing suite. The warehouse has become more than a studio — it's a gathering place for people who believe that independent filmmaking still matters.
