Louisiana Kreutz (Lucy for short) has been an independent filmmaker for over fifteen years. She started off in the editing room, cutting feature documentaries (including SWEETHEARTS OF THE PRISON RODEO for HBO) and reality television (SHIPPING WARS for A&E, MTV's series TRUE LIFE, and others). These years of experience in post-production helped grow her abilities in the field.
These days, Louisiana works in several capacities. She produces for a wide range of television series: most recently she worked on ‘ACTIVATE’, a six part series for National Geographic. She is also an intrepid Shooter/Producer, filming anywhere from the murky waters of the amazon to the sinking bayous of the deep south. These projects include the Sundance Institute's award-winning film JUNGLE FISH, as well as several segments for the History Channel's series HISTORY NOW. She also directs her own films: she has made numerous documentaries as well as a feature comedy, QUAKER OATHS. She is excited to announce that her latest short film, KIO KIO, will be premiering in the fall of 2019.
In addition to her love of filmmaking, Lucy is passionate about ending the prison industrial complex in the United States. Since first entering a prison in 2007 - as a co-producer on Bradley Beesley’s critically acclaimed documentary Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo (HBO) - she has been determined to bring attention to the struggles of people affected by mass incarceration. Her experience behind bars led her to volunteer with Inside Books Project, a non-profit that sends free books to incarcerated people, where she has served on the board for over a decade. Lucy has since produced series for Netflix, the History Channel, and National Geographic that highlight the injustices within our country’s criminal justice system.
