Louis is a writer/director with a dark sense of humour and taste for the absurd, born and raised in North-West London. Raised by an American-Catholic mother and British-Jewish father, Louis has always lived between two worlds, being part of both but also slightly “other” too. This may be what makes him gravitate towards stories about outsiders.
Having worked in production since 2012, he made the transition to writer/director in 2018, completing his first short film Thanks for the Memories starring Will Merrick and Jolyon Coy.
Since then, Louis’ short films have played all over the world at many prestigious BAFTA and OSCAR qualifying film festivals. His BFI Network short film The Chippie was nominated for Best Short at the British Urban Film Festival and Best International short at the 26th L’Etrange film festival in Paris. It also got down to the last 50 for the BIFA long list. His most recent film The Impatient Man Who Made His Life Considerably Shorter, a co-production with Goldfinch Studios, also had considerable success including two award wins and a 5 star review from David Reviews.
