For a decade, Newtral Groundz has been producing cultural work that puts New Orleans first.
Now, for our 10th anniversary, we’re launching the New Orleans Culture Fund, a commitment to produce cultural work while keeping ownership and economic in New Orleans
🎬 Documentary Productions Feature-length films documenting New Orleans culture with permanence, including the Storyville Documentary and Jazz Bounce Docuseries
🎵 Music Albums & Releases Jazz Bounce albums and artist development that build a catalog generating long-term revenue for New Orleans artists
🎭 Live Shows & Experiences Jazz Bounce Lounges and cultural events that celebrate New Orleans’ musical heritage where jazz elegance meets bounce energy
Local musicians, producers, and artists get paid fairly
We will make sure that New Orleans filmmakers, editors, and crew get hired first.
Event staff, coordinators, and production teams are from the community
All funds go directly to producing documentaries, music albums, and live shows, with priority on paying New Orleans artists, crew, and cultural workers.
Documentary and music projects will roll out throughout 2026, with live shows scheduled for spring and summer.
No, Newtral Groundz LLC is not a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, so donations are not tax-deductible. However, your contribution directly supports cultural workers and artists.
Absolutely! For contributions over $5,000, please contact us directly at media@newtralgroundz.com for partnership opportunities.
We’ll still proceed with the projects, scaling to match the funds raised.
