Long before anyone was calling New Orleans “Hollywood South,” Côte Blanche Productions was taking its cameras deep into the bayous even further south to tell stories featuring the Cajuns, Creoles, and American Indians who lived there. Our early Gumbo Westerns created for the first time a true Cajun ethnic cinema. Belizaire the Cajun, with its worldwide acclaim, put us on the map. More recently, our picture The Scoundrel’s Wife, featuring Academy Award winner Tatum O’Neal, shows that our company is still trying to live up the name many have called us: “Louisiana’s Storytellers.”
Update:
Principal photography has completed on The Man Who Came Back, written by Glen
Pitre and Chuck Walker, directed by Glen Pitre and starring Eric Braeden (The Young and the Restless),
James Patrick Stuart (CSI), Acadamy Award winner George Kennedy, Billy Zane (Titanic),
Armand Assante (Belizaire the Cajun, The Mambo Kings), Sean Young (Bladerunner,
No Way Out, Ace Ventura), Peter Jason (Deadwood), Ken Norton (Mandingo), Carol Alt and
Jennifer O'Dell (General Hospital).
 In November, 2005, Glen Pitre joined Robert Towne, Arthur Miller, and the rest of a select group of screenwriters who have graced the cover of Written By magazine. |

Of course not every movie we work on is our own production, nor do all of them have connections to Louisiana. Among Glen Pitre’s credits are producing the thriller In Quiet Night in California, directing the guilty pleasure Time Served in Chicago, and writing the musical romance Heart of India in the shadow of the Taj Mahal, in faraway South Asia.
As SCREENWRITERS, Glen Pitre and Michelle Benoit, working together or separately, have been hired to write drama, comedy, thrillers, horror, fictionalized biography, action-adventure, and documentary. For info on their representation, email BayouPix@aol.com.
