Meet the people making film happen in New Orleans.

Logo for 'The Slate Social' featuring stylized text with a decorative fleur-de-lis symbol.

The Slate Social is a monthly New Orleans film community happy hour designed to make the local industry easier to find, easier to enter, and easier to support.

Each month, filmmakers, actors, writers, producers, crew, students, programmers, vendors, and film lovers gather for casual networking, community partner spotlights, prizes, and our signature bingo game.

No gatekeeping. No awkward ballroom energy. Just a regular place to meet the people making film happen in New Orleans.

Two individuals, a man and a woman, are performing on a stage, gesturing with their hands. The man, on the left, has short hair and is wearing a patterned button-up shirt and white pants. The woman, on the right, has long hair and is wearing a striped dress, holding a small bag and pointing outward. They appear to be engaged in an animated discussion or presentation, with a sign for the 'New Orleans Film Society' on a stand, a small table with a can and other items, and a wooden-paneled wall in the background.
