Festival director and independent filmmaker Steve Mims sees a film festival as a perfect fit for the city. “Part of what people love about Bay St. Louis is that it’s wired for fun cultural events focused on food, drink, music, art and theater. It’s a creative place. Everybody loves movies, and film can add another dimension to what makes living and visiting here interesting.”
Gene Coia will have food for purchase out of the Tin Shed on Friday and Saturday. There is a cash/credit bar at the Hall.
Chef Gene has been cooking since he could see the stovetop. He has earned his stripes in and about the New Orleans culinary scene, winning multiple awards. Last year for the BSL Film Festival, he made some delicious treats that were competing for best performance! Catch him cooking for the kids for the 100 Men Hall's A Soulful Christmas every December and hope you catch his magic for the Hall's gumbo cook-off, Rock 'N' Roux.
