Bon Temps Studios of Louisiana
About this Organization
Lights! Camera! Action!!
Bon Temps Studios of Louisiana (BTS) was created in 2016 to develop young and talented individuals in the field of performing and visual arts associated with photography and film production.
The program "Magic Behind the Scenes" encompasses the areas of acting, directing, producing, creative writing, sound design, lighting, editing and other aspects of film and photography. Individuals gain a basic knowledge of the different components needed to produce an overall film project or photographic composition. BTS partnered with Lake Forest Elementary in New Orleans for an afterschool program. Individuals also participated as interns and shadowed BTS CEO, Mr. Raynard Bender, an experienced playwright and a professional photographer who has written and produced multiple plays in the New Orleans area.
In 2023, The Hangout NOLA in New Orleans East became a new partner and BTS has been able to consistently utilize the space as well as create the Young Entrepreneur's Series (YES) program, which has become an integral part of BTS. Some topics covered include Financial Literacy, Visual Art, Health and Wellness, Culinary Arts, Filmmaking, and Photograph.
