Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1963, Louis Pappas began his
career, on stage, with the Drexel Hill Players in 1971. Also an
accomplished pianist, he studied classical piano at Settlement Music
School. In 1979 he moved to South Florida where he attended Broward
College furthering his music education and taking creative writing.
In 2004 he founded Angry Pig Productions with the idea of using the
camera to bring about social change. His first film, Off Ramps, a
documentary dealing with the issue of the criminalization of the
homeless population in his town, had a successful run being selected in
five festivals out of only seven submissions. Since that time, he has
written and directed several short films winning festival accolades and
awards all over the world.
In recent years Louis has also returned to acting, and has booked roles
in several films including: The Shift starring Danny Glover, and The
Last Hit, where he plays the lead, a hitman who saves a young girl from
a ruthless gangster.
