Scene Magazine Interviews FBT's James Brooke

April 2010, Article by Danielle Nelson (originally printed in Scene Magazine)

"Money Talks" - An Interview with James Brooke

Louisiana ranks third nationally in film and television production. But to be a truly self-sustaining, competitive industry, we must grow the amount of development,  re-production and post-production done in the state. FBT Film and Entertainment is one of the groups working to diversify the scope of the film industry in Louisiana.

James Brooke is a partner at FBT Film and Entertainment in New Orleans, which has fostered projects such as Battle: Los Angeles for Sony, The Hungry Rabbit Jumps for Endgame, The Last Exorcism for Lionsgate and Yellow Handkerchief for Arthur Cohn Productions. With a background rooted in production, Brooke’s television producing credits include work for HBO, BBC, CBS, NBC and ABC, and he has produced feature films for Nu Entertainment and Cinemavault Releasing.

NOVAC’s outreach director Danielle Nelson sat down with him to discuss how FBT is helping to change the landscape of pre-production services offered in Louisiana.
