Documentaries help communities understand their past and imagine a better future. This year, six Miami‑based filmmakers will take up that mantle as recipients of The Louies, an initiative presented by the Miami Film Festival and sponsored by the Lynn & Louis Wolfson II Family Foundation. Now in its second year, the award will provide a combined $100,000 to support new films that illuminate the stories, cultural identities and iconic figures that define South Florida’s past and present.
In addition to funding, recipients will have the opportunity to premiere their work at future editions of the Miami Film Festival and receive unlimited access to the Lynn & Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Image Archives at Miami Dade College.
Michael Miller had the opportunity to meet with Randi Wolfson and Matt Deblinger. Randi is a trustee of the Lynn & Louis Wolfson II Family Foundation. Matt is a producer/director and Louies winner.
Matt’s Uncle Luke vs. America (working title) explores how Miami became a 1990s free‑speech battleground as Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell’s explicit tracks ignited obscenity charges and culminated in a landmark Supreme Court ruling on creative freedom.
