Louisiana Plantations: Real to Reel by Ed & Susan Poole (2014, Learn...) PB Like New - Spine is unbroken, Minor wear on edges/corners - No writing or marks. See Photos. Louisiana has been a favorite shooting location for filmmakers for
almost 130 years. As early as 1898, the largest movie studio of the
time, American Mutoscope came to the state of Louisiana to film New
Orleans and the surrounding areas. For the next 13 decades, movie makers
have continued to flock to Louisiana. Why does Louisiana peak the interests of film producers? Two
of the major draws are the colorful history and the magnificent
architecture. These 2 factors are clearly evident in Louisiana's famous -
and infamous plantations. The plantations represent a period in
history from the birth of our great nation to a time when it was nearly
torn apart. They capture the heart, soul and spirit of the people who
inhabited them, from the affluent to the poor. The land, homes and
buildings tell the story of the great planters of cotton, sugar, and
indigo before the Civil War and how they built their empires on the
backs of slaves. Many stood as witnesses to the wrath of war, and
many suffered near destruction. Fortunately, many of these gems have
survived through the efforts of individuals who spent time and money to
restore them to their old glory. These living monuments offer visitors a
glimpse into a time in our country's early history. They also provide a
unique filming opportunity for movie makers. Louisiana
Plantations: Real to Reel features plantations located around the state
and focuses on their rich history and how filmmakers from around the
world have used them to make their movie magic.
