Houma isn’t just a place to film a scene; it’s a place that sets the scene itself.
With misty bayous and sprawling sugar cane fields, historic streets and plantation homes, our corner of Louisiana has a look and feel you can’t stage anywhere else. Filmmakers come here because Houma has character and charm built into every street, field and waterway, bringing to stories an authenticity that comes alive on screen.
We are here to help you every step of the way. From scouting and permits to housing and crew, whatever you need, we’ll connect you with it. For housing, take your pick from trusted hotels, cozy B&Bs, or private accommodations for VIPs and talent, all handled confidentially.
Getting Here
We’re just 45 minutes from Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY) in New Orleans, and the Houma-Terrebonne Airport welcomes private jets and helicopters. With mild weather and plenty of sunlight nearly year-round, Houma is ready to roll whenever your production is.
