Summary
An episode a long time in the making - today we're (finally) joined by the ridiculously exciting writer, director, Martin collaborator and true Simpsons connoisseur Louis Chan, one of the most name-dropped creatives in Emerging history! Louis guides us through not only his wiggly career making (very very good and very very celebrated) shorts, but also how he found the energy and nerve it took to get them made, essentially becoming the King of Hustle in the process, creating his own opportunities every step of the way. From commandeering university equipment, to co-creating a series of rough and ready comedies with his brother that got the pair a development deal, Louis knows a lot about how to get those doors open and have the right conversations. On top of directing the Martin-penned HIGHS and his many other shorts, Louis was also selected as part of last year's BBC Comedy Collective, something which boosted his TV profile in a big way, so there's plenty of talk about exciting new projects too. And if you want to check out Louis' work, you'll find it all at louischanfilms[dot]com, and he's on Instagram as @louischanwing! 📬 Get In Touch: Email us: [email protected] Follow us on Instagram: @theemergingpod Ben is @bmlrobins Martin is @bananabreadfilm Tray is @ByTrayepps ✨ Support the Show: If you enjoyed the episode, please rate and review!
