Story-rich commercials and brand films for New Orleans.
Few cities have as much story per square block as New Orleans. Selective Cinema produces commercials and brand films that match the city's character — rich, human, and unmistakably itself.
Few cities have as much story per square block as New Orleans. Between a thriving film industry, a tourism and hospitality economy, energy and port business, and a culture that is impossible to fake, New Orleans brands need video with genuine character. Selective Cinema produces commercials and brand films for New Orleans brands and agencies as a story-first video production company.
Generic does not play in New Orleans. From the French Quarter to the Warehouse District, we build a commercial around a real idea and let the culture, the texture, and the people carry it. That narrative-first approach is what makes a New Orleans video production feel like it belongs to the city rather than to a stock library, whether the work is for a hospitality brand, a healthcare system, a university, or a festival.
We work across the sectors that drive the city, tourism and hospitality, food and beverage, energy and maritime, healthcare, and the nonprofit and cultural organizations that give New Orleans its identity, translating each into video that feels specific and human.
Nowhere is the food and hospitality story richer than New Orleans, and it deserves film that tastes like the city. We produce restaurant and culinary films, hotel and venue sizzle reels, festival and event coverage, and destination marketing that captures the texture of the place, the kind of work that makes someone book a trip or a table.
Our portfolio runs from the McCaskill & Company commercial campaign and the Cook Museum's Show and Tell spot to high-end lifestyle work for McCoy Outdoor Co, the documentary-style McFadden Nature Center film, and JTS's online-ordering commercial, all held together by the same narrative discipline. See it in our case studies.
Full creative and production from concept through delivery, execution from a brief you have already built, or as your director of photography for a shoot you are directing. Whatever your team already has, we fill the rest, with one filmmaker accountable start to finish.
Every project starts with a conversation about what you are trying to accomplish, then moves through concept and treatment, pre-production, the shoot, and a post process built around clear revisions and the deliverables you need. You always know who owns the project and where it stands.
Do you travel to New Orleans for shoots? Yes, regularly. New Orleans is a short drive from our Gulf Coast base, fully crewed and equipped.
How much does video production cost in New Orleans? Most commercial and brand film projects fall in the five-figure range depending on concept and scope. Share your budget and we will be honest about fit.
Do you cover events and festivals? Yes, from festival and event films to recap and sizzle reels for venues and destination marketers.
What types of video do you produce? Commercials, brand films, music videos, and ongoing corporate and social content.
How long does a New Orleans project take? Most projects run about four to eight weeks from kickoff to delivery depending on scope, with a clear timeline up front.
What will I receive at the end? Final films in the formats you need, from a hero cut to vertical and square social versions, with full usage rights for your brand.
How do we get started? Tell us about your project and we will come back with whether we are the right fit and how we would approach it.
