A graduate of Screen Training Ireland/UCLA's Film Scoring Program, Louise has studied with many world class composers and orchestrators including: Emmy award-winning composer Richard Bellis, Bob Drasnin, Don Ray and Bruce Broughton, and orchestrators Conrad Pope and Scott Smalley.
In 2007 she was awarded funding from the Arts Council of Ireland to participate in the prestigious ASCAP TV and Film Scoring workshop in Los Angeles. This gave Louise the opportunity to conduct her own music on the Newman Scoring Stage at Fox Studios with a 40 piece orchestra of LA's finest session musicians.
In the same year Louise was a semi finalist in the 8th Annual Turner Classic Music Young Film Composer Competition and in 2006 she was awarded Best Original Score (Horror / Slasher) at the Movie Making Madness festival in New York. |
