THE MAKING OF UNCLE LOUIE: entry 28

Every night I speak with my partner Joe Mangelli. Every night we remind each other how fortunate we are to have pulled off the making of Uncle Louie. We are grateful as hell to have actually completed a 90 minute feature, based on a story that we wrote. It wasn’t easy. It worked us to the bone and wrung us out like dishrags. In the end though, we got what we wanted. Uncle Louie works. All the pieces come together. It’s not for everybody, that’s for sure. But it will make you think and that’s what we want our viewers to do, to think, to ponder the ineffable, to laugh in the face of impending misfortune.
