All submissions will then be narrowed down to a shortlist of 10 lucky candidates, all picked by a panel of very influential but unnamed people.
Those shortlisted will be given support on how to make their pitch into a real documentary, all to be shot only using a smart phone.
Six of these will then have their film used as the basis of an Edinburgh TV Festival session.
The winner will then get a six month exclusive development period with the production company and work with the creative team at Mindhouse with different projects and pitches.
And that's not all, Prime Video will also offer the winner a 12 month mentoring and training programme, with Fozia Khan, Amazon Studios Unscripted Executive being said mentor.
Speaking about this once in a lifetime experience, Louis explained: “I am very excited to be part of this initiative. For me, one of the best parts of launching Mindhouse is being involved behind the scenes with new talent who can tell fresh stories in different and exciting ways.
"To paraphrase Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon, I’m getting old for this s**t, and my knees aren’t what they once were. We need to safeguard the future of irreverent and intelligent on-camera reporting by bringing up the next generation of presenters."
