Scope and Contents
This collection consists of extras’ contracts, director’s notes, script drafts, photographs, and promotional material all pertaining to Glen Pitre’s movie "Belizaire the Cajun". It includes numerous drafts of the script, including a portion of a draft in French, and handwritten pieces of drafts. The film used mostly local Acadiana talent for work as extras. There are also director’s notes on camera angles, as well as hand drawn set maps. Media coverage of Glen Pitre and "Belizaire the Cajun" and photographs from the movie are also included.
Glen Pitre donated this collection. The 35 mm film reels were originally donated to the University Media Center. Later, Center Director Jean T. Kreamer transferred the reels to the University Archives and Acadiana Manuscripts Collection.
