Backstory Sessions

• Inside the Manor: Louie James on Time Loops, Indie Grit, and Ghosts

  Catch a cozy, no-filter chat with Louie James as he opens up about growing up near London, how classic American cinema lit his imagination, and the wild adventures of indie filmmaking that shaped his career. We dive into his intense roles, physical stunts in River of Blood, and the twists of performing in the new time-loop horror Manor of Darkness — releasing December 9th. Louie talks acting training, the power of honest collaboration, why darker stories still hold a glimmer of humanity, and even his thoughts on ghosts, guardian angels, and how tech (including AI) can help indie filmmakers punch above their weight. It’s like hanging out with a thoughtful, slightly dramatic friend — intimate, honest, and a little spooky.
