Andrew Louca

Andrew Louca has successfully maintained parallel careers in the stage, screen arts and as a business executive for 25 years. After receiving a degree in theater from Brooklyn College and further study at New York's Dramatic Workshop, he began his career as an actor, writer, producer and director while simultaneously entering the consultant industry. Today he is the Co-founder and partner of Network Temps. Inc. In 1975, he opened A Little Theatre, one of the few venues in New York City to present European playwrights. His productions included the United States premiere of lonesco's THE KILLING GAME, Pirandello's KING HENRY IV, Pinter's THE BIRTHDAY PARTY and Beckett's WAITING FOR GODOT, in which he departed from the solemnity of most productions to highlight the Laurel and Hardy-esque humor inherent in the text and costumes. He supervised the adaptation of Kafka's THE TRIAL and wrote the script for the staging of Pinter's screenplay, THE SERVANT. He contributed to the Broadway production PACK OF LIES and to off-Broadway's THE COUNTESS OF MULBERRY STREET. In 1986, he went on to direct the film THE THIN LINE and to produce THE GIRL IN THE WATERMELON (1995), which appeared at the Sundance Film Festival that year. It also opened the New Films/New Directors Film Festival presented by the Museum of Modem Art in conjunction with Lincoln Center. The film received many accolades from the New York press. He co-produced the feature DISTRESS with Ben Barenholtz (Raising Arizona, Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing) starring Michelle Hicks, to be released in 2005. Mr. Louca is producing 51/50 MALL COP written by Selena Chang and Matt Reynolds and directed by the 2001 Palme d'Or Winner David Greenspan, and developing GENTLE HANDS. The novel by M.E. Kerr is to be adopted for the screen and directed by David Greenspan. Also in the works is a bio picture based on the legendary jazz musician Art Pepper to be directed by Australian Ana Kokkinos.
