On an early October day last year, during the city’s first stretch of real fall weather, Andrew Bond takes to a corner patch of grass outside of Celtic Media Centre and brandishes a sign that reads, “Local film grad 4 hire. Will PA and work hard!” After graduating from Full Sail University’s film program, he moved from Kansas City to Baton Rouge looking for work in the industry. Celtic chief Patrick Mulhearn snaps a photo of Bond and pops it on Facebook to give the job seeker a boost. Some critics carelessly classify film industry jobs as only transient work. But less than a hundred yards away from Bond’s curbside plea, Active Entertainment is combating this argument, as nearly 20 full-time employees prepare to huddle for the formerly Lafayette-based company’s first full staff meeting at its new Baton Rouge headquarters on the ever-expanding campus of Celtic Media Centre. Check out the full story in this month’s edition of 225 here.
