Louis Guerra was born and raised on Long Island.

He is the youngest of three, and has attended college at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. There he majored in Radio/TV/Film production and earned a minor in Creative Writing for the Media. While at NU, Louis served as an intern on the film, “Jacob’s Ladder,†and through that internship, he was offered his first job as a production assistant on the feature, “JFK.â€
