Louise studied at the Northern Media School, graduating in 2009 with a Masters in Film Production & Screenwriting. She began working as a producer on independent short films and promos, producing the award winning Film London short Physical Education (dir. Rohan Green, 2010). The film was was mentored by Dreams of a Life and The Falling producer Cairo Cannon. During this time Louise established Dead Flower Productions to promote female talent in front and behind the camera. The following year she pitched to the North London Film Partnership and Film London a coming of age film with a twist.
Louise continued to write strong complicated female characters and in November 2012 she began writing and crowdfunding her follow up film which became Siren. The film has since screened in the UK, USA, Canada, Portugal and Brazil at numerous festivals including the renowned Frameline: San Francisco LGBT Film Festival. Siren was accepted into the British Film Council’s Shorts Scheme and Louise was funded to attend the USA premier in San Francisco in May 2015.
