Independent films and film festivals are thriving in Louisiana, and on this episode of Discover Lafayette, we welcome three passionate advocates helping shape the future of filmmaking across the state: Southern Screen Festival Founder and Executive Director Julie Bordelon; filmmaker and Director of Public Relations for the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival, Jenika Kolacz; and Lafayette native Kelly Swift, Film Programming Director for Manship Theatre and Events Director for the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival. The conversation explores Louisiana's growing independent film ecosystem, the importance of film festivals in building creative communities, and the realities filmmakers face trying to sustain careers in the state. Julie Bordelon, founder of Southern Screen Festival, reflects on how she entered the industry without formal film school training, learning production hands-on while working in Lafayette during the height of Louisiana's film production boom. “I had no clue what I was doing,” she says of her early days in production. “By the middle of the first film, I was a department head.” Bordelon later served as an entertainment liaison for the City of Lafayette, helping support Louisiana's tax incentive initiatives for film, music, and digital media before launching Southern Screen Festival nearly sixteen years ago. Southern Screen Festival was born out of a desire to create opportunities for local artists and filmmakers in Acadiana. “I pulled them all on to the board and started the Southern Screen Festival without knowing at all what I was doing,” Bordelon recalls. “Just trying to make a scene for us and for other artists and creatives.” In its 16th year, the festival will be held November 19-22, 2026. Learn more at Southern Screen. Today, Southern Screen Festival has evolved into a year-round, multidisciplinary arts organization that extends far beyond its annual November festival. The organization now presents film screenings, workshops, networking mixers, writing programs, pop-up events, live podcasts, and music showcases designed to strengthen Louisiana's creative economy and connect local artists with national industry professionals. Southern Screen Festival has become one of Louisiana's most respected independent arts festivals, attracting filmmakers, musicians, producers, writers, editors, and storytellers from around the world to downtown Lafayette every November. The four-day festival features international screenings, panels, workshops, live performances, parties, and filmmaker networking events designed to create what Bordelon calls “a festival for filmmakers and for artists.” The festival remains intentionally non-competitive, allowing filmmakers at every level to feel equally supported and accessible to one another. Over the years, Southern Screen Festival has welcomed an impressive lineup of industry guests, including Tom Kenny, editor Javier Marcheselli of “Blade Runner 2049” and “Dune,” “Family Guy” writer and actor Alex Borstein, and producer Monty Ross of “Malcolm X.” Bordelon explains that Southern Screen Festival intentionally creates opportunities for festival attendees to interact directly with accomplished industry professionals in workshops and conversations without barriers or gatekeepers. One of the festival's newest expansions is particularly exciting for Acadiana's growing animation community. Southern Screen Festival recently announced plans to partner with UL-Lafayette on a brand-new animation festival launching in April 2027. The event will feature curated animation screenings, educational panels, artist talks, and hands-on learning opportunities aimed at students, emerging creators, and animation fans of all ages. During the interview, Bordelon explains that the idea grew directly out of audience demand for more animation programming at Southern Screen Festival. Southern Screen's commitment to education also includes its expanding student film initiatives. The organization hosts student workshops and showcases for Acadiana students in grades six through twelve, encouraging young creatives to experiment with filmmaking while gaining exposure to professional industry environments. Bordelon also discussed her work through Create Louisiana, which provides grants, mentorship, and creative support to Louisiana filmmakers and artists statewide. The episode also shines a spotlight on the rapid rise of the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival, known as BRUFF. Launched in 2025 at Manship Theatre in downtown Baton Rouge, the festival sold out its inaugural year and immediately established itself as a major gathering point for Louisiana's independent film community. The festival celebrates indie and genre-focused filmmaking while creating opportunities for networking, collaboration, and hands-on education. Kelly Swift describes BRUFF as “a film festival for filmmakers by filmmakers,” with programming that intentionally supports student filmmakers, first-time directors, emerging artists, and seasoned professionals equally. Last year's inaugural festival featured more than 50 independent films, educational panels, networking opportunities, workshops, and afterparties throughout downtown Baton Rouge. Organizers say one of the most rewarding aspects was watching filmmakers from Louisiana connect organically with artists visiting from Florida, Texas, Georgia, New York, California, and beyond. This year, the Baton Rouge Underground Film Festival will be held from August 27 – 30, 2026. Festival passes start at $30, with full access available for $75. Visit BRUFF for more information. Jenika Kolacz notes that BRUFF's mission goes beyond screenings. “We really want to celebrate independent filmmaking as a whole,” she explains, emphasizing the importance of creating spaces where filmmakers can collaborate, share resources, and build careers together. The festival's organizers also experimented this year with a free FilmFreeway submission day to eliminate financial barriers for filmmakers who might otherwise be unable to afford festival fees. The guests also discuss the broader challenges facing Louisiana's film industry, including fluctuating production levels, workforce sustainability, and the need to better support local filmmakers, not just outside productions utilizing Louisiana tax credits. “Those local filmmakers, those are the people we need to be supporting,” Bordelon says. Despite the challenges, the episode is ultimately an optimistic look at Louisiana's creative future. Whether through Southern Screen Festival's expansion into animation and year-round programming, or BRUFF's fast-growing grassroots momentum in Baton Rouge, all three guests emphasize the same goal: creating spaces where Louisiana filmmakers can collaborate, learn, experiment, and build sustainable creative careers right here at home.

Leading with resilience with Skye Deane and Alex Webb, is an inspirational episode of the Business Awards Show as we're joined by two powerhouse women. Skye and Alex are co-founders of the award winning Resilient Women Leaders, who took home a Silver award for Best Business at the 2025 Best Businesswomen Awards. Their journeys could not be more different. Skye brings eighteen years of experience as a British Army officer and clinical physiotherapist, including deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, while Alex has a brilliantly 'squiggly' career spanning teaching, sports TV, events and entrepreneurship. Together they make quite the team. In this episode they explore what resilience really means (and no, it is not just bouncing back). We reveal how to recognise where you are on the pressure to stress spectrum before you tip into burnout. And vitally, why asking for help is a superpower rather than a weakness. There is also a brilliant conversation about the value of business awards, the magic that happens when you sit with strangers at an awards dinner, and the credibility they confer. Our guests also explain why consistency and knowing when to step up or step back are the foundations of a great working partnership. If you have ever felt overwhelmed, overlooked or unsure whether you are leading well, this one is for you. About Alex and Skye As a former Army Officer, senior clinical healthcare professional, a leader, manager, military wife and mum, Skye has her own experiences that have enabled her to build her own resilience. Skye is a qualified Resilient Leaders Consultant, a practising senior physiotherapist, and has a passion for developing resilience and leadership for all individuals irrelevant of sector or background. However, as a healthcare professional, she is particularly keen to help women in such a vital area. Alex Webb, is a business and leadership behaviour consultant. She works with individuals and teams to optimise their performance, building organisational health, through self-awareness, leadership and resilience development. Starting her career in education and teaching, Alex has had a mixed career within events, sports TV and media, entrepreneurship and technology. With her roles as an Events Director and Programme Director (both commercial and corporate), Alex has created, designed and facilitated workshops, events and programmes for an array of ages including clients such as TfL, Sky, Vodafone, Coca Cola, Umbro, Lego, AXA, and GSK. Alex and Skye met as qualified Resilient Leaders Elements consultants and co-founded Resilient Women Leaders™ in 2020. They are determined to use their skills and training to empower women to lead with confidence and resilience.

The BanterThe Guys enjoy a snack and Mark tells the secret of what makes it great!The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys are on location in Charleston, SC at Herd Provisions with owner Alec Bradford and wine director Kellie Holmes. Alec tells how he began cattle farming and grew to running a restaurant. Kellie shares how she selects wine to match the farm-to-table story of Herd Provisions and trains the staff to reflect that story.The Inside TrackThe Guys found the concept of having a restaurant and a wine shop familiar, but Herd's butcher shop and cattle farming takes it even further! When you are invested in a project, it's incredibly personal.“ I take it very personally, but it is incredibly gratifying. The best day I ever had was the first time I sold a steak at a New York restaurant (to Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin). He does a great food and of course, Eric is not well known for cooking steaks, but he took three ounces of tenderloin and some caviar, and he called it surf and turf. I think I did a backflip in my mind for sure. That was, that was one of the best days of my life,” Alec Bradford on The Restaurant Guys Podcast 2025BiosAlec Bradford is the owner of Herd Provisions in Charleston, South Carolina, a farm-to-table restaurant and whole-animal butcher shop. Herd's high quality meats are sourced directly from Alec's very own Leaping Waters Farm in Virginia. Since 2004, Alec raises one of the oldest and rarest breeds – Ancient White Park cattle. ______________Kellie Holmes is a restaurant consultant who focuses on the creation and implementation of wine programs in the Southeast and beyond.

Let me introduce you to my friend, DeAnna Rogers. At one point, she was a single mom diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. Not only did she meet and marry the man of her dreams and win out over cancer, but she helped create this "little thing" called Traffic & Conversion Summit with the guys over at Digital Marketer. Here's a bit more about her story in her own words: In the past twenty years, I have owned several of my own successful businesses. When diagnosed with cancer, I took a long look at what I wanted to do and realized that my job was not done yet. I became stronger and more determined to make an impact in the community. I also learned to create relationships in order to build a back-end funnel for my business and have truly appreciated the people that I've met along the way. I am not afraid of adversity and truly believe that challenges are just “stepping stones” toward success. This journey led me into the Events and Marketing world and I am thrilled to be working with such great people within Digital Marketer. Working with Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss is a daily blessing. I began with them over ten years ago as their Events Director and the journey with them and the team at Digital Marketer has been amazing. I have loved managing events for years and my passion for events is now something that I get to do on a daily basis. What started with my first event with 54 people is now working with events that host over 7000+ people. I grow daily along with my team and I am proud of the people that I work beside each day. The event career led me to have the opportunity to become a partner with Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss on several different companies, including EPIC, Evolve Events, Rise Nation Mastermind, and several others. I am proud to lead the EPIC company, and serve as the GM and guide that program/community of amazing entrepreneurs and investors. I can actually say that my business experience has been crafted over the past twenty years with just “trial and error.” I have no fear of failing, but rather fear of not being able to try at all. I am stronger today because of the people that I work with and the entrepreneurs that I have chosen to work beside. It is with great honor that I am able to share my “success stones” with others in hopes that you too will not give up and you can create your very own success. You control your destiny. Your success is up to YOU! You can find DeAnna on LinkedIn.

After serving 21 years as a soldier in the Army, Army National Guard and Active Guard Reserve, Matthew Langseth retired in 2019. His first post-military role was working for 3 years as a Knowledge Manager for an organization that supports the Army. He is currently the Military Veteran Programs Coordinator for the City of Tucson and is the Marketing and Events Director for Vets2Industry. After working 3 years for the DoD, Matt decided to go in a completely new direction. After landing a role as the Marketing and Events Director for Vets2Industry, Matt took advantage of Coursera's educational resources and earned several applicable certifications. Matt encourages people to research their passions and figure out what really drives them. Find mentors in the field you want to pursue and set up informational interviews. Research job postings and make a plan to upskill or reskill. Consider finding mentors through Veterati, American Corporate Partners (ACP) or LinkedIn. People want to help, but you need to ask. Leverage your free year of LinkedIn Premium and take advantage of free courses through LinkedIn Learning. Even though you may stumble in the beginning, your hard work will produce results.Matt credits networking for his career success. LinkedIn is a platform that has allowed him to stay connected to the military community while providing an opportunity to meet new connections who have become lifelong friends. In addition, LinkedIn has given him educational tools and resources and provided him with job opportunities. Matt uses his network to help others reach their goals. While staying humble, hungry and genuine, Matt believes LinkedIn is the best platform for career transformation.As a volunteer for Vets2Industry, Matt interacts with many service members each month. Most transitioning service members have similar struggles with the biggest one being figuring out what they want to do next. Finding your focus is the first step in your military transition. It will dictate what resources you decide to use, who you choose to network with and how you craft your resume. Starting the transition process early will allow you the time to research career fields and conduct informational interviews. Matt admits that it took him the 3 years he worked for the DoD to find his focus. Realize that your focus may change over time. Be open to new opportunities. The second biggest struggle transitioning service members face is learning how to translate their skills. If Matt were to transition again today, he would find out what he really wanted to do and then use the appropriate resources. In 2019, Matt was using the trendy resources of the time and checking the boxes instead of putting in the hard work of finding his focus. He likens it to fishing with no bait or the wrong bait. Matt encourages transitioning services members to find a focus, make a specific goal and then use applicable resources to achieve the goal. Use volunteer work to gain experience in the civilian sector.Subscribe to our YouTube channel at https://tinyurl.com/llforvets22Connect with Matt at https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewplangseth/Check out Vets2Industry at https://vets2industry.org/Join the waitlist for the resume writing course Lori is building here: https://www.nextforvets.com/resumeSUBSCRIBE & LEAVE A FIVE-STAR REVIEW and share this with other veterans who might need help as they transition from the military!

Christina shares about her inclination towards ministry from an early age, and when that calling was named and fostered by her pastor. She talks about how being a life-long church attendee and student of church health eventually led to her role as the Associate National Director of Church Health and Development for Vineyard USA, the effects of COVID on the church she pastors, and what that time of disruption revealed about the discipleship in our congregations. Christina gives an encouragement to tell people what you see God doing in them, and talks about the gift of entrusting youth with Sunday service responsibilities, as well as the value in broadening our expectations of what it looks like to disciple people. Christina Lowery is the Associate National Director for Church Health and Development. Early in her ministry career, Christina served as the Events Director for a large student internship at Teen Mania Ministries (Acquire the Fire) in Tyler, TX. In 2001, she and her husband Joel joined a local Vineyard Church there, and served on the pastoral team for several years until they were called to move back to Virginia and plant Crossroads Church. Christina and Joel have co-pastored Crossroads Church in Fredericksburg, VA since 2008. As a Lead Pastor, Christina has been a big-picture thinker and creative visionary, responsible for communicating and driving the vision and mission of the church forward. She finds great joy in preaching and teaching, leadership development, and building systems that foster church health and growth. In addition to her local leadership at Crossroads Church, she has served in other leadership roles with the Vineyard, such as an Area Leader in Northern and Central Virginia for ten years (2009-2019) and on the Vineyard Women in Leadership Team for the past three years (2018-2021). Joel and Christina have been married for 23 years and have 3 amazing kids – Hannah (17), Caleb (15) and Zoe (8). The Lowery family loves to travel and so far, their favorite destination is Maui, with its warm sun and beautiful island beaches.
