"There are so many things about
Louis, so many. He came to New York, he didn't know what he was gonna do—how could he know. And he had a taste of being admired. He
wanted love so fucking much, he wanted someone to belong to him or he wanted to belong to someone." – Herbert Huncke |

Huncke and Louis (1998) is a very personal video documentary I've just completed on the lives of Beat storyteller Herbert Huncke and photographer Louis Cartwright. Herbert and Louis were close friends and roommates for more than 25 years. Having fled from their respective families, they became family to each other. Huncke was a key figure in the formation and sustenance of the Beat Generation. His books include Huncke's Journal, The Evening Sun Turned Crimson, and Guilty of Everything. In October of 1997, Morrow published The Herbert Huncke Reader, edited by my friend Ben Schafer. Louis Cartwright's photos were an integral part of Huncke's books.
