 * Comment. Toiling as he does in the super-low-budget world, sources about Louzil exist but have to be reviewed with some care to see if they qualify as the sort of independent reliable sources that convey notability.  For example, Luke Ford, who probably qualifies as an expert in this area, has a chapter about Louzil in his 2004 book The Producers: Profiles in Frustration but the book is published by iUniverse and may not qualify. A recent OC Weekly article notes in passing that "Director Eric Louzil has four films in the Troma library, along with the aforementioned Nuke 'Em High sequel, he also boasts two of the finest budget indie action films this side of "USA Up All Night."   More digging is in order. --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:47, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Based on the available sources that turn up in a Google Books search, I would keep this. For example:
 * Yuma's golden era of filmmaking is the late 1980s to the early 1990s, according to Yvonne Taylor, longtime director of the Yuma Film Office. Independent filmmaking increased during this time, bringing filmmakers such as Eric Louzil to town.
 * Lili DeBarbieri, Location Filming in Arizona: The Screen Legacy of the Grand Canyon State (2014), p. 79.
 * In August 1975, Keith agreed to appear in Sonic Boom, a comedy short made by UCLA film student Eric Louzil, about a supersonic jet that lands in a small town and creates hysteria about an impending sonic boom that never happens.
 * Andrew Neill, ‎Matthew Kent, Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere: The Complete Chronicle of the WHO 1958-1978 (2009), p. 262.
 * Eric Louzil, producer of Sizzle Beach, U.S.A., and now a low-budget director, recalls: "We always laugh about that scene. He had to make love to the director's wife in front of a fireplace. He was real nervous and stiff. He kissed her, but it was like he wasn't into it."
 * Todd Keith, Kevin Costner: the Unauthorized Biography (1994), p. 49.
