Feliz Navidad, On this day of all days, we at Court 13 would like to tap in to our holiday cheer to give a collective clap on the back to some of our friends who recently had the delightful news that their films will be premiering at the lovely Sundance Film Festival this January. Way [...]
It’s less than 50 degrees out, we’re 12 games in and the Saints have only lost 3, and Canal Street is lit up like an underage college kid on Bourbon. This can only mean it’s the holidays in New Orleans. And what better time for a little throwback high-minded quasi-academic media discourse? This chap right [...]
Greetings from the Bywater. A side item of interest for you today: featured player in the upcoming Court 13 film “Beasts of the Southern Wild,” Miss Gina Montana, was recently inducted into the Mardi Gras Indian Hall of Fame. Read the write-up and see the technicolor bead get-up HERE. Gina also recently celebrated her 50th [...]

THIS WHOLE THING’S REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN! Through a partnership [...]
Happy Mardi Gras, very late! The vibe here in Nola was as euphoric as a Tracey Porter interception. We hope your gris gris was greasy and you got your bead on like a chief. February has been a cross-continental month for Ray Tintori. First, he broke free of New Orleans for Mr. Jefferson’s Academy in [...]
