WBRD 1008AM — First Transmission

From the Back of the Room (Up Front)

Every now and then, the signal leaks into pictures.

This clip comes from a day shoot at The Whirlybird Compound during the filming of Pointe Noir.

No performances for the camera. No explanations.

Just people workin’, waitin’, listenin’ — the way stories usually get made

before anybody calls ’em art.

You don’t need to know what the film’s about. You don’t need context.

If you recognize the feeling, that’s enough.

(roll tape) — Nicky

PS — For folks who love David Cheramie:

Here’s a quiet, beautiful shot of him doin’ what he does best —

keepin’ the story honest as script supervisor on set.

PPS: St. Landry Cinema will have a week-long engagement of the Louisiana-made feature film Pointe Noir, beginning Thursday, January 15 — and they’re kicking it off with a one-night-only opening celebration.  OPENING NIGHT EVENT — THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2026

Y’all’re not late. (Yeah. That’s a word now.)

You’re just hearin’ and seein’ this when you’re ready.

This ain’t a show, y’all.  It’s a signal.

Sometimes it sounds like a story told too soft for the room.

Sometimes it’s a fiddle catchin’ on a memory it didn’t mean to keep.

Sometimes it’s silence long enough to notice your own breath again.

We don’t archive much around here. We pass things hand to hand.

Voice to ear. Fire to fire.

If you’re listenin’ from a kitchen, a truck, a porch,

or a place you didn’t plan to stay — that counts.

If you don’t know what you’re listenin’ for — that counts too.

This signal doesn’t rush. It wanders. It waits.

And when it speaks, it usually says what you already knew

before somebody told you otherwise.

So, stay as long as y’all need.

Pop Squally, somewhere off-mic: “Don’t touch it yet. Let it find you.”
