Why We Relate to Louis CK
Really, cable’s FX deserves a lot of credit for giving Louis the freedom to create a show as unique as Louie. As Louis himself told an audience at a Hilarious screening in New York last night, the only reason he agreed to do the show was because of the terms they offered him: money up front and 100% creative freedom. For the pilot, they wired him $200,000 and aired whatever he sent back. He didn’t even have to make a pitch or give them a premise before they gave him the cash. When they picked the show up for a full season, they bumped that amount up to $300,000 per episode, and pretty much nobody at the network sees an episode before it airs. That sort of freedom is almost completely unheard of in the entertainment industry.
great piece. and, the title is true. amazing, relatable, storytelling. it’s not escapism, which is pretty refreshing in an age where our castles in the sky are just that.
