ten18films presents "Chef de Riz" from JC on Vimeo.
Hello. And welcome to ten18films.
We make documentaries about people who enjoy a different way of life.
Our latest release is "Chef de Riz," winner of the 2011 Telly Award for Reality Programming. On the surface it's a movie about all things food in the quest for the coveted "blue ribbon" at a Cajun cook-off. Once the contest is over you'll see how family trumps the competition for one "Rice Chef." It's a cooking contest of whole-grain proportions!
Past releases are streaming online now and are available for purchase on DVD. "Hexing a Hurricane," shows a part of New Orleans that refuses to give up on keeping the city's rhythm... even in the bleakest hours. And then there's "Don't Worry Honey, I Live Here." That's a "locals only" tribute to Mardi Gras. It's a must see for anyone captivated by the lesser-known celebrations far, far away from Bourbon Street.
ten18films documentaries have coast-to-coast distribution through the National Film Network. They've played on television, online and on movie screens in several countries. You can watch some of them on this website right now by clicking "Watch Video" at the top of this page.
The focus of ten18films - in 2010 - is on storytelling. We produce documentaries. But that hasn't always been our sole purpose.
ten18films was established in 2001 with a secondary mission beyond making movies. We also screened them. During the early years ten18films showcased more than 100 movies from aspiring filmmakers. We founded New Orleans' FLICKER FILM FESTIVAL, offering up-and-coming directors a coveted opportunity to take their work on tour to venues in New Orleans, NYC, Atlanta, Birmingham, Austin, Los Angeles, Chapel Hill and several other cities. Our FILM LOUNGE series provided a weekly home at the famous "K-Doe" Mother in Law Lounge in New Orleans. Every Tuesday night any director seeking a "test run" had a captive audience ready and waiting. Those projects helped jumpstart careers and revive New Orleans indie filmmaking scene. In fact it's one reason ten18films was named "Best Hope for Independent Cinema" by Gambit Weekly.
In the studio's ninth year that hope lives on in a different way. ten18films is connecting with a broader audience through television broadcasts, DVD distribution at university libraries and by streaming our videos online.
