Louis
Working Writer - Wants To Keep It That Way
Interests
My family, Cleveland sports, the French New Wave, and politics.
Books
Enjoy Philip Roth, Nikos Kazantakis, and Stephen King among others.
Movies
Ingmar Bergman is still my favorite writer/director but I'm a big fan of Wes Anderson, Zhang Yimou, Sidney Lumet, Clint Eastwood, and Eric Rohmer among many others.
Television
I'm a LOST fan (I have a strong spec to prove it) and I love Tina Fey's 30 Rock. (I'm fairly certain I'm not biased by the fact that she's a fellow Greek-American.) Alec Baldwin is pure genius too.
About Me
I have an MFA in Film & Video from Columbia College Chicago where I also taught filmmaking and screenwriting. I then wrote & directed a low budget feature in Chicago before getting involved in advertising where I've written and produced literally hundreds of TV spots over the past decade. I'm currently the Senior Writer for SureFire in Orange County.
Goal
I want to earn a living writing for movies, in addition to writing in the realm of advertising. I have many stories to share.
