Local filmmakers have announced the launch of 3one8 Films, a shareholder-owned, locally-run film studio in Northwest Louisiana. Founded by Shreveport-Bossier filmmakers and entrepreneurs, 3one8 has four feature films ready to go into production in their first year, all headed by an experienced team of award-winning local film industry veterans. The company has several investment levels open to the public.

“We didn’t just want to make films here; we wanted the whole region to be able to be a part of what we’re doing,” said Rich Hansil, Executive Producer and Founder of 3one8 Films. “With this model we’re able to offer ownership shares to our community, regionally and globally, at levels that can attract small, medium, and large investors alike. By amortizing the costs of equipment, crew and talent across a slate, we’re able to produce higher quality films at lower budget levels.” Interested Investors can find offer details at: https://wefunder.com/3one8films.
The lineup of talent at 3one8 includes local award-winning filmmakers such as Blayne Weaver (American Pie: Girls Rules, Weather Girl, Cut to the Chase) Camille Gladney (Erzulie, Gloria, St. Esther’ s Day), Jeremy Enis (The Cut, Ruminant) and Josh Munds (Sammy Dees, Unemployed), supported by a management team featuring Jacob McSharma and Anna Gleason.
“We’re excited to build on what local festivals such as Film Prize have done with short films and help our local filmmakers graduate to features,” said Hansil. “We have so many amazing filmmakers in our community, and this is an opportunity for them to make their films here, rather than moving to Los Angeles, Atlanta or New York.”
The Community Round of funding is now open to local investors, with the full Public Round opening on March 4th. More information is available at https://wefunder.com/3one8films.
