About Louanne Fries, Executive Producer

I've been incredibly blessed.  Somehow, I've survived the very fickle, unpredictable, ever-changing world of television, video and documentary production.  I've won awards over the years for my work.  Yes, I'm proud of that, and appreciative of the recognition. But what matters more is the impact my work has on whoever is watching it.  If it doesn't move you, touch your heart, or make you think, I haven't done my job.

Throughout my career, I have worked with some of the most gifted talents in my field.  It is because of their collective influence that I am where I am today. And where is that exactly?  I'll tell you.  I'm super chill.  Confident but not cocky.  Driven but not crazed. Mostly, I'm motivated to use my skills and talent to do good in the world.  Nothing matters more to me.
