Louise is a filmmaker and fine artist based in London, UK, where she is currently in development on various short, feature and TV scripts. She grew up in Malta, first working as a designer and then working as an Assistant Director on TV and Feature films. When she moved to the UK she continued her work as an AD, before deciding to dedicate her time in developing her skills as a director. Since then she has directed, produced and sometimes written and edited numerous short films that have been screened in festivals around the world.
During these ten years Louise has explored the disciplines of film and fine art, using one to inform and inspire the other, developing her unique voice and process.
In 2018 she decided to challenge herself by making a #oneshortfilmamonth series. Working with an assortment of writers, DOP’s, Actors, editors and Sound designers every month, she was able to produce 2-3 min microshorts that were released onto social media. It allowed her to challenge herself, build lasting collaborative relationships with other creatives, master film as a medium and gain a sounder knowledge of the process of filmmaking.
In these past two years, she has also began the process of writing her own scripts. This is due to her desire to focus on stories and aesthetics that she feels are truly representative of who she is as a director, and the kind of work that she wants to be creating in the future. As a key member of Cinesisters, and a member of Directors UK, she has been shortlisted for Eastenders & Holby City Emerging Directors Scheme, been chosen as a mentee for the Directors UK inspire 2021 scheme, being mentored by TV Director Iain B. Mcdonald (Shameles, Shantaram, Wayne), and continues to explore every avenue to further her career and achieve her final goal - Directing for feature film and high end TV. Read less
“It's not just about coverage, or conveying what you see in front of you - it's about uncovering what’s below the surface - the emotion, tone and meaning of a moment. I want people to have a response to the story or painting: to feel the temperature of the night air as they walk through a landscape; to question what a person is feeling as they sit ...; to feel the sadness, love or joy that those characters are experiencing as we watch their story unfold."
