The Louise Log is an American web series created by Anne Flournoy. The Louise Log details the confessions of a New York City wife and mother hell-bent on getting it right in spite of her high-maintenance husband, her addiction to caffeine, an elaborate ensemble of notable characters and her over-active inner voice. The first episode aired on YouTube on the last day of 2007. Another forty-three episodes have since been released, and have been shown on YouTube, Koldcast, Vimeo and blip.tv. In the first two series Christine Cook starred as Louise; in the third series Morgan Hallett took over that role.

    • Production

    The Louise Log was created by Sundance Film Festival veteran Anne Flournoy and produced by Micro-Movies LLC. Anne wrote the first seventeen episodes alone, but from episode 18-26 she was assisted by Sandra Vannucchi, and from episode 27-44 she was assisted by Mark Mordecai Green. Numerous people have been involved in the various aspects of making and distributing the series.

    Critical Reception

    The Louise Log won two awards at the 2014 LA Web Festival, Outstanding Writing in a Comedy (Anne Flournoy), and Lead Actress (Christine Cook, Seasons 1 & 2).

    The Louise Log was shortlisted for the 2013 Web Show Shorty Awards.

    The Independent, in its annual review of 10 Filmmakers to Watch, included Anne Flournoy for The Louise Log, and published an interview with her.

    Digital Chick TV described The Louise Log as "a hilarious on-going comedy that gets into a woman’s mind. Literally.".

    Good Day, Regular People said, "I very much relate to the heroine in this series, Louise. I do all the fumbling self doubt and second guessing of myself, as she does. My internal dialogue is much like hers--and to hear it voiced aloud, I laugh in recognition. And relief."

    Funny Not Slutty said that The Louise Log is "a dark, funny, weird yet relatable web series about a woman, her life, her men, and her inner voice".
