Long before anyone was calling New Orleans “Hollywood South,” Côte Blanche Productions was taking its cameras deep into the bayous even further south to tell stories featuring the Cajuns, Creoles, and American Indians who lived there. Our early Gumbo Westerns created for the first time a true Cajun ethnic cinema. Belizaire the Cajun, with its worldwide acclaim, put us on the map. More recently, our picture The Scoundrel’s Wife, featuring Academy Award winner Tatum O’Neal, shows that our company is still trying to live up the name many have called us: “Louisiana’s Storytellers.”
