#louistominson #onedirection
louis tomlinson started his career on x-factor, quickly becoming a global phenomenon and making history as part of the band one direction, at the young age of 18. however, when the band went on hiatus, louis had to gain confidence in himself and find his solo sound, all while facing devastating losses and online hate.

thank you so much for 7k! you all are the absolute best and I'm forever grateful for the support and community we have here. you all make me smile so much!

Just wanted to talk about why I chose to exclude certain things... First, this documentary is heavily centered around Louis' solo career/who Louis is. While I briefly summarized one direction' success, and it will forever be a part of Louis, I really wanted to highlight how far he's come on his own. Second, I just hate how it's often more about an artist's love life than their career and therefore, I didn't mention anyone he has claimed to or been rumored to be with. While I personally believe closeting is an important part of his career, I didn't wan't to tell a narrative that fans have created based on hints we've seen. I wanted this to be Louis story and what Louis has chosen to share with us so far. when I started, I decided that if I was going to create a 40 minute video on him, then I wanted everything to be 100% candid and no controversies. That way, it would appeal all sides of the fandom and we can all love it without hating each other. Finally, I went back and forth with including his fall out with Zayn, but decided against it because again, this is about Louis solo career, not his time in 1d. I didn't want to rehash old wounds, especially since Louis handled the falling out publicly well (for the most part), and we've yet to hear Zayn's side of things. Plus, we have no idea where their relationship stands today.

in case you couldn't tell by the channel name, this is not an "official" documentary. Louis definitely was not consulted in the making of this video. These are just my favorite performances, interviews, and Louis moments which I used to tell Louis story. hopefully one day we will actually get a documentary if that's what Louis wants!
