ABOUT NOVAC
NOVAC believes in the power of storytelling, and cultivates creative and economic opportunities for storytellers.

COMMUNITY CREW UP
COMMUNITY CREW UP is NOVAC's program to connect locals around the country with opportunities on set. In Louisiana, we provide access to on-set experiences and paid opportunities, and around the country, we partner with HBO, Warner Bros and Turner Broadcasting to find diverse talent interested in working behind the scenes in some of Hollywood's most engaging and inclusive production environments.
