NOVAC is connecting the dots between two communities who despite their crossover, have yet to come together in New Orleans: the indie film and tech communities. As part of NOLATech Week, NOVAC will offer an Open House and Bywater Bar Crawl as a means of connecting these two communities while showcasing the work of up-and-coming web series and transmedia creators. Of course, it wouldn't be NOVAC without a little fun and games. A web series ptich session will be followed with a Bywater Bar Crawl to get everyone's juices flowing and promote cross collaboration between two groups.
