Before the State of Louisiana limited the savings the film industry enjoyed here, Shreveport was a magnet for big-budget films. Even today, with credits capped, there are still productions all over the ArkLaTex. From Salem to the recently released I Saw The Light, you can run across filming any day, or run into actors any night downtown.
