Louie Lawless

Louie Lawless Producer - Director I was born in Penticton, BC and raised on a farm in Bridesville. I left for Hollywood after high school to follow my dream of being in the film industry. There I studied and worked in films and television at many studios in a variety of crew positions, from grip to Director of Photography, improving and developing my skills to the positions of Producer and Director. In the seventies, I was part of a Hollywood Production Team which produced the feature length documentary film "Manson",that was nominated for an Academy Award. Since that time I have been a member of the Producer's Guild of America and the Director's Guild of America. Over the next twenty years, I produced and directed feature films and television, while also teaching both acting and film production at various studios in Hollywood. In 1994 I returned to Canada to produce independent films and television and to settle on Vancouver Island where to this day I still pursue my crafts of film-making and teaching at the Victoria Motion Picture School.
