Louis C.K. directs his show, which is very much like a series of short films.

I made short films in school.

I majored in screenwriting and playwriting in school - and wanted to make films as a career. But when I directed my first short in college - which was called 'Extras' - I lost thousands of dollars and made an unsatisfying and incomplete film.

Short films don't go too far.

I love film, and I love short films.

I have a lot of incomplete short films and incomplete scripts out there.
