DaManuel Richardson Juror at 35th New Orleans Film Festival

We are excited to share that DaManuel was recently invited to serve as a juror for the 2024 New Orleans Film Festival’s prestigious South Pitch program, a unique opportunity designed specifically for South-based filmmakers. This program provides a platform for emerging talents to hone their pitching skills, as well as connecting them with industry insiders who can help bring their projects to life.

In addition to the South Pitch program, DaManuel also served on the Oscar-qualifying Narrative Short Film Jury, which not only elevates individual projects but also contributes to the vibrant filmmaking community in the South.

We look forward to seeing the impact of these amazing experiences and the continued growth of Southern filmmakers!
