ABOUT

I'm Louise, an independent documentary filmmaker, born and raised in Belgium. 

In 2014, I graduated at RITCS school of Arts with MamaMin, a personal documentary about my mother. 

​

Right after graduating film school I flew to Congo, to work on Renzo Martens’ documentary White Cube. Next, I started working on documentary and

music projects in Belgium until I moved to Austin Texas, late 2019.  

​

Here, I made The Conversation in which I focused on the Black Lives Matter protests that erupted in Austin. Together with Griet Goelen, I recently completed Buck Fever,

a short youth documentary about a young cheerleader going on her first hunt.

Currently I'm working on Eastside Perseverance, a documentary on

the disappearance of one of the last standing black neighborhoods in Austin Texas.
