Louis Lagayette

Overview

Louis Lagayette is a director and screenwriter based in London. He studied at Queen Mary University of London and Columbia University in New York. Originally from Corsica, he grew up in Paris where he practiced street art and started to make short films. He then moved to London in 2010, where he directed music videos before writing and directing his first feature film: Trendy.

Trendy’s script won the Live Script Reading Award at the British Urban Film Festival in 2015. The film premiered in competition at Raindance Film Festival in 2017 and was released digitally in the UK.

In 2021, Louis wrote and directed Réelle Vie, a 3x12’ mini-series commissioned by Universal Music Group, about the life of French rapper Maes. The series was viewed more than 5 millions times in less than a month. He then co-wrote the series B.R.I. with Jérémie Guez. B.R.I. premiered on Canal + in the spring of 2023, and was watched 12 million times. Louis just co-wrote Tigers and Hyenas, Jérémie Guez’s upcoming feature film for Amazon Prime Video.

Louis’s new feature film The Hunted, which he wrote and directed, was produced by Voltage Pictures and Mediawan International. The film was released in early 2024 by Vertical Entertainement International. The Hunted is a survival thriller set against the backdrop of the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea.

Louis is 32, he is French/British, and bilingual, so he writes in both languages. He is currently developing film and TV projects in the UK and France.
