Lou Pierce
Big Idea Company, L.L.C.
Lou will be discussing the documentary he did
for the University of Notre Dame that tells the story of Monk
Malloy, entitled, “MONK, Teacher, Priest, President.”
This film was nominated in the
category of Outstanding Achievement for Documentary Programs
at the 48th annual Chicago/Midwest Emmy Awards. And guess what?
The film won! However, as Lou was quoted to say, “Awards
are nice but whether we win or not, this nomination is really
meaningful. Mostly because at the end of the day it's a film
about a priest.”
