About this user

Todd Looby was born and raised on the Southside of Chicago. He is a mostly self-taught filmmaker. Shortly after receiving his MS in Environmental Sciences in Civil Engineering in 1999, Todd returned to Chicago and began taking classes at Chicagos iO (formerly Improv Olympic). The following year Todd acquired at DV camera and began making films.

Initially making rudimentary documentaries and comedic shorts, Todd began tackling feature film work in late 2005 while working full-time as a commercial construction manager. His first narrative feature, THE SITE, premiered at Henry Jagloms Iowa Independent Film Festival in 2007. The film was cut further in the Fall of 2007 and was screened at Chicagos Facets Cinemateque as part of IFP/Chicagos Meet the Filmmaker series in the Spring of 2008. Also in the Spring of 2008, Todd completed a 45-minute documentary, Towering Above OHare about the building of the new Air-Traffic Control Tower at OHare Airport.

LEFTY, Todd's second narrative feature was recently named "Top 10 Movies of 2009, so far" by metromix, lauded by the Kansas City Star and Best Feature Winner in Iowa. The film stars many of Todds friends from the neighborhood as well as accomplished comedic actors from Second City and iO. Todd was recently in Honduras shooting a feature-length documentary, Solo Madres: Stories of the Families Left Behind, about the impossible plight of impoverished mothers in a society where 70% of fathers have left the family or have immigrated to the United States. Todds work often blends off-beat humor and drama in character studies that challenge current societal norms.
