After working in marketing and business development at Time Magazine, Jupiter Communications, and SportsIllustrated.com, Louie learned producing by producing NYU Tisch graduate thesis films, though she did not attend the school.[4]

Louie has premiered seven feature films at the Sundance Film Festival: Jennifer Fox's The Tale starring Laura Dern, Isabelle Nélisse, Ellen Burstyn, Jason Ritter, Elizabeth Debicki, and Common; Christina Choe's Nancy starring Andrea Riseborough, J Smith Cameron, Steve Buscemi, Ann Dowd, and John Leguizamo, Hannah Fidell's "The Long Dumb Road" starring Tony Revolori and Jason Mantzoukas; So Yong Kim's Lovesong starring Riley Keough and Jenna Malone; Martha Stephens & Aaron Katz's Land Ho! starring Paul Eenhoorn (Sundance 2014, Sony Pictures Classics, Spirit Award nominee); Marshall Lewy's California Solo starring Robert Carlyle (Sundance 2012, Strand Releasing); and Tze Chun's Children of Invention starring Cindy Cheung (Sundance 2009).

She was listed as one of Ted Hope's "21 Brave Thinkers of Truly Free Film" for the distribution strategy of Children of Invention,[6] profiled in Indiewire's "Futures" column[7] and in Crain's New York Business,[8] and named one of Indiewire's "100 Filmmakers to Follow on Twitter."[9] She serves on the Board of Directors of Film Independent, and as an advisor to the Sundance Institute, SXSW, IFP, and A3 Asian American Artists Foundation.
