Bill Arceneaux is creating a new website for New Orleans area film screenings and filmmakers from around the world
By Sujewa Ekanayake I discovered Bill Arceneaux 's work after reading two reviews (at Letterboxd , at Neaux Reel Idea ) he wrote about my new movie Werewolf Ninja Philosopher . Werewolf is a movie for art/indie - real indie/foreign movie fans - and takes a good understanding of noir movies, art house cinema, NYC underground movies for someone to fully enjoy it - and by reading his writing it was obvious that Arceneaux knew the references in Werewolf. Plus Arceneaux is a relatively accessible film reviewer ( @billreviews on Twitter ) and he seeks out new films and filmmakers that interest him - qualities that are useful for real indie/DIY filmmakers who often do their own distribution and publicity work. Arceneaux is deep into art films, mainstream films, Jim Jarmusch movies (with a book on Down By Law on the way) and he is an enthusiastic supporter of the New Orleans film scene. He is working on starting a website that will cover film screenings happening in New Orlean
