I honestly still cannot wrap my head around the fact that Jared agreed to come home and judge the prize. After all the effort put in by the 487 of you who kept the energy high I just hope he knows how much this means to the local film scene …

At the Oscars, Leto delivered an amazing speech about how he was born in Bossier City, La - part of the filming zone for LAFP - and that his mother was instrumental in pushing him to do what he loves, to follow his dreams.


The crew at Louisiana Film Prize understands what it's like to start from the bottom and work your way up. Our festival is all about inspiring filmmakers to get off the couch and make a short film by offering the largest cash prize for a short anywhere in the world - $50,000 in addition to a host of other prizes.


Leto and his mother embody the very spirit of the Louisiana Film Prize. Let's band together to petition them to return to Louisiana to inspire the next generation of artists to follow their dreams!

I was just watching that speech again and it honestly still gives me chills even with the sound off because it really captures the whole reason we are doing this in the first place. My inbox has been kind of a mess in the best way possible with people sending me their own favorite memories of growing up around here and I am trying to keep up with everyone while brainstorming ways to actually get this in front of him.

It's important to not forget your roots once you make it big. Jared and his mother would make a great addition to the festival.

I think you and your mom show that being in a single parent household is not a death sentence, but to only love so much more. It would be an honor to meet a living Oscar winner.

Having you as a judge would inspire so many creative, up & coming actors/actresses and film makers trying to get their start in Shreveport/Bossier. It would be AWESOME!
