New Orleans Video Access Center (NOVAC) has provided education, resources, and opportunities in film for over 52 years. In 2024, we trained film crew to work in crafts such as in costumes and makeup, and developed two award-winning films highlighting local cultural practitioners.

• Launch NOVAC Fest, a community-driven fundraiser and celebration
• Train 100 community members for film industry careers
• Host at least 1 set visit for hands-on experience
