shining a Light on stories that need to be told
My work reflects my devotion to using media and storytelling as a conduit for good. In these divisive times we need true stories that build bridges not walls.
25+Years Experience
Louise Woehrle is a passionate storyteller whose mission is to shine a light on stories that need to be told with the hope they will serve as catalysts for change. In addition to her work as a documentary filmmaker, she is an Emmy regional award-winning Executive Producer (Grandfather’s Birthday), book publisher/editor for Suicide Survivors’ Club - A Family’s Journey Through the Death of Their Loved One - awarded first place in the Midwest Book Award, and co-founder of the Collaborative Theater that produced an award-winning all-women original play, Women: Scenes From Life.
Several projects Louise has led have received awards, aired on broadcast television, and woven their way through many nonprofits, educational institutions, and organizations.
I am grateful for all the projects I have led or influenced that are being actively shared to raise awareness, inspire, and educate. I have witnessed hearts open, people on opposing sides find common ground, and communities forge connections to heal and create change.
