The Robinson Film Center

Filming at the Old Capitol Building in Baton Rouge:



Event: The Musical Travel Film, "Hello Louisiana," with a Cajun luncheon catered by Abbie Singer's Bistro.


Time: This coming Saturday, July 3rd, at 12 Noon.

Place:  Robinson Film Center.

Cost: $14, movie & meal included!

Marsha and I would like to invite you to a special presentation of Cajun food and a mouth-watering Louisiana movie, a loving portrait of the state we love. More information can be gathered from Red River Radio's Area Events page, from the Robinson Film Center's website, or from our space, www.montyandmarsha.com

Ten years ago, while we were playing music in England and France, we got ourselves a digital video camera, a laptop and an editing program, and started making movies about the places we go. Somewhere along the decade we also started gathering moving impressions of our home state, so we could show it to Europeans. "Hello Louisiana," (original title, "Bonjour Louisiane,") is the result. It's been shown on LPB (Public TV), in Europe, Canada, and from coast-to-coast in the USA, but it's never had a proper Louisiana public performance until now. This one is hosted by us, the film makers, Monty and Marsha Brown, with "live" narration and lots of music. And, of course, food.

This is a real bargain: for the same $14 you'd spend at the Robinson on Saturday, for a Cajun buffet, you could go to a movie at the Multiplex and have a coke and a bag of popcorn. Maybe.

See you Saturday
