This is the whole idea

This is the whole idea. UNDERBELLY — a $550,000 New Orleans neo-noir — projected on an alley wall, scored live by a trio sitting ten feet from the front row, bar pouring until people go home.

No lobby, no concession line, nobody telling you to leave. BAD PENNY BOURBON is invented; the film is not. The room is part of the story, and that is true of any New Orleans event video production worth doing: the audience should feel the place, not just watch a record of it.

A great event film gives the organizers a clean, useful afterlife for the night. It can serve the sponsor, the venue, the artist, and the next audience without losing the character that made the event matter in the first place.
