Zoom into Movie Making
Do you see yourself filming on location, whether behind or in front of the camera, scripting, editing and directing? If so, get ready to zoom into one of Louisiana’s most dynamic industries! The film and movie making sector has contributed to Louisiana’s economy by growing 81% since 2005, and Louisiana currently ranks third in the country behind California and New York in the number of films produced. Southeastern Louisiana University offers a unique opportunity to learn about movie making without leaving Louisiana. This innovative program is a week long workshop taught by seasoned professionals.

Northshore School of The Arts
Imagine an after-school program where talented junior and senior high school students who are serious about the arts work with high-quality professionals in their field. Imagine a program that challenges those same students with more advanced and intensive course work than the typical high school offering. Imagine being able to obtain university-level credit at Southeastern Louisiana University while still in high school. This is now a reality on the Northshore with the creation of Southeastern Louisiana University's Northsore School of the Arts.
The nurturing of creative abilities will come to life in a unique way through the Northsore School of the Arts. Through inspiration, example, and guidance, Southeastern's faculty in the areas of Art, Dance, and Music will guide our potential artists of tomorrow with this exciting program. As an after-school program, the NSA supplements and reinforces the instruction already existing in the schools.
