Support NOVAC for GiveNOLA Day! Your donation directly impacts our 2024-2025 Community Filmmaker Cohort. This year the cohort is making two documentaries on Black Maternal Health, highlighting challenges black-birthers face while birthing in institutions and shedding light on the inequities in our healthcare systems and the difference birth-workers make in Louisiana.

NOVAC empowers storytellers and communities by providing education, training, and resources in film, TV, and digital media. Our vision is that storytellers in Southeast Louisiana have equitable access to creative and economic opportunities in film and digital media, and the agency, voice, and vision to tell their own stories. We seek to have community stories represented by community storytellers at the highest level of practice.
