New Film Music Studio Boosts 50 Cent’s Vision for Louisiana’s Film Industry

It seems like another piece in Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's puzzle fell right into place. What puzzle is 50 Cent putting together? A new Hollywood right here in Shreveport. That puzzle is a lot closer to being done with the introduction of the Louisiana Scoring Studio.

50 Cent's Shreveport Empire Has a New Ally

It's no secret that 50 Cent chose Shreveport, and Louisiana as well, to be the new home to his G-Unit movie studios because of Louisiana's tax credits offered for film productions in the state.

50 has invested a lot of money into the city and has already ingrained himself with the city's culture, even throwing back punches when the publisher of the Inquisitor came for him. 

While 50 has been a big fan of the phrase "all roads lead to Shreveport," a new film scoring studio in Acadiana lands just a little outside of Shreveport.

Movie Music With a Drop of Louisiana Spice

The Louisiana Scoring Studio is a program hosted at the Acadiana Center for the Arts that will invite movie studios, video game developers, TV show producers, and anyone who needs original music to have instrumental music made just for them. The studio being created has nothing to do with 50 Cent, for now at least, the project received assistance from the Louisiana Department of Economic Development.

Movie scores are the instrumental songs made to go along with the movie, often recorded specifically for maybe even just one scene in a movie, think of "The Imperial March" playing as Darth Vader walks down a spaceship hallway.

The new studio isn't exactly in Shreveport, but it is one of the very few scoring studios in America. Now projects will have an American-based studio to create their music, which also creates jobs for musicians and producers in the state who now have chances to work on big projects that would've otherwise gone overseas.
