How to be Louise

Institute History

Description

Louise (Lea Floden) is a 20-something with dreams. She longs for independence from her family, a meaningful love relationship and a future as an actress. But her extreme social anxiety holds her back. Haunted by her mother's accidental death and without role models, she single-mindedly scours her world for someone to imitate. With the help of James Joyce's Ulysses and a handsome taxi driving poet named Stanley (Bruce McCarty), Louise discovers she is the woman she thought she would never be.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
