COOL - Creating Outstanding Opportunities Locally The COOL Cooperative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, dedicated to creating outstanding opportunities locally for middle and high school students in the film industry. Founded in 2014, we educate, develop and celebrate the next generation of Louisiana Storytellers.
