Interview by the "Daily Bucaneer" with reporter Penelope Roberts

Penelope: What's the reason why you ran for Governor?

Louis: I became the observer who realized no one was doing anything that made sense. I looked around for examples of the type of leadership that I thought should exist, and it got to the point that I was personally affected through a retaliatory narrative inside the Los Angeles Unified School District. The sequence of events I watched the district plot out revealed a process that made the reality palatable to me first-hand. When I tried to report it, things got worse for me; and that's when I became conscious of the reality that I was participating in. Most people would not find it acceptable, but the reality is that journalist are often like paid bots to share a spectrum of reality they've been conditioned to share by their corporate employer; this media matrix is someting we're born into, and you don't see it until you get to interface with it; when I did, I realized the true conundrum in our society - the lines of communication have been hijacked by the machine of wall street publications through undetectable non-profits. You have to look at the backstory of the media outlet to understand it to see understands its real motivation - it's fascinating – there's no real scientific method in communicating reality, and I felt that should change if we have a chance at collaborating to curate freedom.

Penelope: What strategy are you taking to get noticed?

Louis: When I had a job at an ad agency I was told that the best way to communicate messages is with edginess. There's a way to do this that doesn't make it about me, and that's an important way for me to thinka about communicating. I want to focus on the story. I see myself as a director, and the stars are the people I will work with to make this possible. Leadership is identifying a team to work with, and communicating a process to make it happen. My skills as a filmmaker, teacher, researcher, and facilitator has prepared me to take on such a role in the state of California.
