About
Luke is a graduate of the Master of Fine Arts Screenwriting Program at New York Film Academy, which he confusingly attended in Los Angeles. He learned everything he knows from movies and TV, which is why he begins all of his e-mails with “If you’re reading this, it means I’m already dead…” Luke grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts, but moved out to Los Angeles a few years ago in order to rack up student loan debt and write for the big screen. He primarily writes comedy, but is always open to any and all projects and genres that are comedy.
No, seriously he writes other things. He also refers to himself in the third person… I wrote this… I’m Luke.
Glamorous, high-stakes entertainment is the only world Luke’s ever known (still me). He endeavors to come up with engaging characters and stories that will hopefully make you laugh a little bit and maybe feel something in your cold, cold withering hearts. Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like to read a script or work on something together.
Also feel free to follow him on Twitter (below). He’s painfully hilarious. Just kidding that’s way too much pressure to live up to. He’s okay.
