Declaración

del director

 

“Me atraen las historias (ya sean de ficción o documentales) sobre humanos, emociones, tabúes, pasión y temas sociales. Me encantan los personajes peculiares, divertidos, diferentes e inesperados. Y creo en la diversidad y la igualdad para todos. Los cineastas tenemos la responsabilidad de mostrarle al mundo que el camino fácil no siempre es la mejor. Tenemos la responsabilidad de contar historias que importen y hacerlo de manera ética. Solo con la esfuerzo y el trabajo duro llega una verdadera satisfacción.”.

Soy directora / guionista danesa (además, según un test genético, con un porcentaje bastante elevado, aunque también llevo un 0.3% Siberiano y algo de Neanderthal), nacida en uno de los días mas fríos en la historia del pronóstico del tiempo danés; 32 grados bajo cero. Y fue exactamente el clima frío y el impulso de nuevas aventuras lo que me hizo mudarme a Barcelona en 2005, donde vivo hasta el día de hoy, solo interrumpido por mis estudios de cine en Nueva York en la NYU School of Professional Studies.

Desde que era pequeña, sé que quería ser narradora y cineasta. El amor y la pasión por contar historias están profundamente arraigados en mí, y es lo que realmente me trae felicidad. Tengo una amplia experiencia en escritura, dirección, edición y filmación tanto como freelance como dentro de productoras.

Soy miembro de varios grupos diferentes:

 

EWA - European Women’s Audiovisual network, organización que tiene como objetivo alcanzar la igualdad de género para las mujeres que trabajan en la industria cinematográfica en términos de acceso y oportunidades de empleo y financiación en Europa.

 

DONES VISUAL - Organización catalana que trabaja para defender, promover y hacer efectiva la presencia de la mujer en la industria cinematográfica.

 

THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY MASTERMIND GROUP - Grupo internacional de profesionales de la industria cinematográfica fundado por la editora de Hollywood Tina Imahara.

Soy cofundadora/líder del grupo THE LEADING LADIES, donde organizo reuniones on-line mensuales para las miembros femeninas de The Entertainment Industry Collaborators Group con invitadas tan inspiradoras como Starr Parodi, Presidenta de la Alliance for Women Film Composers y la compositora de cine nominada al Emmy Miriam Cutler.

Testimoniales

It was a great experience working with Louise on our short film The Pill. Louise is highly astute and courteous with the entire team. She is professional but also went above and beyond to not only cover all corners but ensure the team received everything they needed. Louise is a great director and I look forward to working with her again.

 

 - Elaine Roberts – Miami based Excutive Producer

I had the pleasure of consulting Louise on her script, "The Pill", then watching her direct an international film production in the midst of a pandemic with humor, ease and optimism. Louise is an intelligent, passionate and driven director who is both sensitive and protective of her actors and flexible and open- minded with her crew, solving production challenges with solutions. Hard-working and dedicated to the art and craft of filmmaking, her greatest trait is that she leads with skill and kindness. I highly recommend Louise and look forward to working with her on future projects

 

- Sydney Leigh Soliz – Writer, Editor & Script Consultant

I produced one of Louise’s films and found her to be a highly skilled and creative director. She is supportive and helpful to everyone on set, and even in the most tense and stressed situations she never lost control or her good mood. She is organized and respectful of budget and shooting plan.

 

- Marta Lacima Ligero – Producer

Louise was the kind of director everybody would want: with a clear vision of her film, kind, wanting the crew to always be well and with an overall great sense of storytelling reflected in the finished short film. I still remember watching it at the premiere and thinking "wow, what a great director she is!"

 

- Massimo Perego Meroni – Award winning director / 1st AD

Louise is a well balanced and well orientated person with skills of overview and organization. She has distinct leader skills and she has shown a firm sense of directing.

 

-  Esben Høilund-Carlsen – Director / Teacher at the European Film College

Louise has a positive attitude and always works cooperatively and productively. Louise is a sensitive, thoughtful person who is also a self-starting, hard working individual.

 

- Falvio Alves – Award winning director

Louise was an outstanding student. She is a creative individual. It is my observation that she provided leadership not only on her own individual projects, but also on other students’ projects. Her attention to detail and her ability to follow through on ideas and get things done was impressive. I only wish that all of my students could be as dedicated as Louise.

 

- Gary Gasgarth – Director / Teacher at NYU – SPS

I first met Louise working on a short film and she was the 1st AD on it. She showed herself to be a passionate and thoughtful filmmaker all the while managing to communicate to a multi-national cast and crew in 3 languages! We subsequently then collaborated on more projects where Louise was the director. Again, her passion was palpable and her commitment to the craft is very apparent. She worked well with her actors, and was fantastic at communicating her ideas while being open to new viewpoints. I would not hesitate to work with Louise again!
