Louis Morissette鈥檚 career combines business training with comedic instincts
When Louis Morissette (BCom鈥�95) was studying at Desautels, he was also performing in comedy shows. And when he went to the 脡cole Nationale de l鈥檋umour, he found himself wondering what the business plan for comedy could be.
In the years since then, he鈥檚 figured it out. Morissette is the co-founder and President of the production company KOTV and has been an actor and producer for television and film.
At the beginning of the pandemic, one recent project was picked up by Netflix, but Morissette credits that largely to timing 鈥� the film Le Guide de la famille parfaite (The Guide to the Perfect Family) was completed just as the film industry was shutting down and streaming services were hungry for content. In order to reach foreign audiences more consistently, Morissette argues that higher production budgets are necessary. But for the time being, it isn鈥檛 on offer from Canada鈥檚 public funding bodies.
