| About Île aux Cannes Media
Île aux Cannes Media is an independent video and audio production company based in south Louisiana. We’re a small company which begun as a branch of a family business.
Owner Brenda DeKeyzer Lowry sees personal history projects as a perfect fit for her training, experience, and interests. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Mass Communications from Loyola University of New Orleans, and a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Her years of experience in both fields run the gamut of television and radio production as well as counseling work with families and individuals as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). |

She grew up next door to her grandparents, and spent many hundreds of happy hours listening to their stories. She and her family share an interest in historic preservation, having inherited a fair amount of history of their own! She is also a musician, vocalist, and songwriter. As a professional in several fields, she holds memberships in the Association of Personal Historians, National Association of Social Workers, ASCAP (American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers), and The Recording Academy (Grammy). |
Île aux Cannes means “Cane Island.” It was the original name for the area around Lydia, Louisiana, where her great-grandfather settled over a hundred years ago. It was called Île aux Cannes because of the heavy growth of canelike vegetation. Today, the area is in the heart of sugar cane country.
