NEW ORLEANS — Yandr Productions, LLC, is producing a short-form series titled "#FREERAYSHAWN" that will be filmed in Central City from Monday, May 20, 2019, to Friday, May 24, 2019. The scenes scheduled for Central City resemble a hostage situation managed by police forces. In order to maintain continuity control, the production crew will have permitted traffic control each day on the following blocks:
MONDAY 5/20-FRIDAY 5/24 – Sunrise to sunset
1600 and 1700 South Rampart Street – Full closure
1900 and 2000 Euterpe Street – Full closure
1600 and 1700 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard – Traffic holds of 1-3 minutes
The City encourages Central City residents and businesses to prepare for traffic detours. Please note the production will have Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Deputies on-site to maintain vehicular and pedestrian traffic safety.
Residents and business owners who have any concerns (scheduled deliveries, construction, accessibility needs, etc.) are encouraged to contact Ashley Bunge of the Locations Department at (504) 224-2225. The production crew plans to do everything possible to find a mutually agreeable solution.
Yandr Productions is working in full cooperation with Film New Orleans within the Mayor’s Office of Cultural Economy. Please direct any City-related queries to Interim Film New Orleans Director Carroll Morton at 504-658-4341.
