Pictures say 1,000 words, some say. So that must mean video can say ... (does maths) ... a lot more.

Pictures say 1,000 words, some say. So that must mean video can say … (does maths) … a lot more. We know how much people love changing up their backgrounds on Zoom. That’s why we made the library of specially made New Orleans themed backgrounds. But hey, video can be even more impressive, and we snatched up a few special video backgrounds to make you feel the bright sunshine and not have to be out in the oppressive NOLA heat. This helps especially when the termites begin swarming because gross.

Hi. I’m Clint.
I’m the Local Market Manager for Very Local New Orleans. I’ve lived in New Orleans since 2001 and been living my best life in this rad place since that year.
I have 10 years of broadcast journalism and digital media experience. Before Very Local New Orleans, I worked for WDSU-TV – producing, product developing, digital media managing– I’ve done it all. I’ve seen first-hand the trials we’ve suffered in this city and the celebrations we’ve enjoyed. I love New Orleans. It’s home.
I’m going to work my hardest to bring you the content and experiences you care about to live your best life here in one of the best cities on the planet.
I love finding things to do here – concerts, food, drinks, nerding out, etc. And I love sharing those things with others.
Contact me via email. Gimme a shout on social. If you see something you think we should know about, hit me up. If you see something that needs fixing on the site, ditto. I want this website to be yours, too. Not just one I manage, but one we as a community and New Orleanians use to help us live our best lives.
