Aside from its robust gaming industry and luring downtown attractions, Shreveport, Louisiana has grown into one of the nation’s largest film producing cities. Trailing only California and New York, Shreveport, or as they like to call it, ‘Hollywood South’, is becoming a lead setting when it comes to making movies; having shot over 100 films in its backyard. The metropolitan area offers an array of incentives for production companies- from sound studios to a computer-controlled wave pool, and even the ever more appealing tax enticement.
Popular movies produced within Shreveport’s boarders include The Guardian featuring Ashton Kutcher and Kevin Costner, The Great Debaters starring Denzel Washington, and Mad Money featuring Diane Keaton, Ted Danson, Katie Holmes, and Queen Latifah. Industry moguls look forward to visiting Louisiana’s northern city of Shreveport-hotels or penthouse stay- when filming due to its vast allure of gaming, night life, and shopping. It appears Shreveport has grown from its small town days of a few hotels and a handful of businesses, into an attractive destination adorned by entertainment and charm.
