About
I’m Louanne Fries, a five-time Emmy Award–winning executive producer, creative director, and storyteller with 25+ years of experience shaping human-centered narratives across documentary, nonfiction, broadcast, and digital platforms. I love discovering the real people behind complex ideas—building trust through interviews, editorial strategy, and a documentary-style creative process that makes stories feel accessible and alive.
I founded LA LLC and later Fries Frame Productions, leading original concept-to-delivery projects that include films, executive interviews, branded storytelling, and live event content. Today, I also lead wellness brand and summit work with Soul Ever After / ALIGN Summit and produce The Best People Podcast—using thoughtful research, strong guest selection, and modern workflow tools (including AI-assisted research and production) to bring compelling voices to audiences everywhere.
I am looking forward to connecting!
