hello friends! hope you are having a great fall so far. the last month I’ve been pretty busy traveling around, Northern California, Washington, Burbank… okay the last one wasn’t so far, but still—being out of one’s home can interfere with your routine. what I’m getting at,...
howdy friends! I'm happy to let you know that my TEDx talk, "The Intention of Attention" has been released! In the talk I discuss how a random thrift store find launched me into a multi-year quest exploring how we use photography to capture the moments of...
hey friends, I've added a couple new "Making Of" blogs to Found in Kitsap's website. check out: Part 3: Early Mistakes & Lasting Lessons and Part 4: An Obsession With Collection -Luke...
howdy hi, things have been heating up with my short TIME TO EAT recently - quite a few new festival announcements have been coming in. look forward to sharing that news with y'all soon. in the meantime, I'm super stoked to be able to present "Behind The...
howdy friends, well, I’ve pretty much recovered from my trip to the UK and France in August. I will (hopefully) have some great photos to share with you soon. that’s always the trick with shooting 35mm… you don’t really know how they’ll turn out exactly. like,...
howdy hi! a couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of being on my friend Max Cole's podcast "Cinema After Dark." we had a great chat about how I got started in film, inspirations and influences, the problems and challenges with Time To Eat and more...
hello friends! a quick refresher of last week’s blog. while working on LBTXIV, I had the wild idea to take a silly joke and make it into an animated short. I wrote a script, found artists, recorded the dialog and got project in motion. my storyboard...
howdy hi, today is pretty exciting because it represents a filmmaking first for me. I’ve just released my first animated short! in the ol’ day job, I’ve worked quite a bit doing animation editing, but my new film HAWKWARD is my first foray in writing, directing,...
howdy hi frienderinos! it’s been a pretty full and busy last couple months. I finished up working on THE LAND BEFORE TIME XIV and started working on a new show, HARMON QUEST. off work hours I finished the poetry book, The First Year, and my film...
howdy hi frienderinos! I've written a new post about the "Found in Kitsap" story. this one is about the experience of searching through the thrift stores - and the thrill of finding ones with film. click here to read it! -Luke...
hello there! this morning a friend sent me this short video on the science of "productivity." it's actually a pretty accurate description of how I manage my time and motivate myself to write. check it out! what about you? do you have any tricks, tips, "life hacks,"...
greetings friends! once again, I’m sorry that my blogs have been less frequent over the last couple months. it’s a curious thing having a “normal” job again. I’d really gotten used to the freelance lifestyle of editing, writing, and snowboarding… and not always in that order. so,...
hey friends, the other day I was going through my hard drive, doing some organizing and I stumbled upon a proposal for a short film entitled "Crux." back in 2008 it was something I desperately wanted to make, but could never round up the resources to...
greetings friends, today I'm going to talk a bit about the realities of living & working as a creative. I use that word rather than "artist" because "artist" often feels like such a loaded word. to me, it conjures up beret-wearing, cigarette smoking, one-hour-a-day working painters…...
a while back, I was taking a dinner break from work at a post facility I occasionally freelance at. as I sat eating my succotash, I looked out the window and saw a huge dirt ramp. it was part of the construction on the 405. my first...
hello friends! sorry I’ve been a bit lax recently about blog posting! I’ve doing quite a lot of applying for various projects: Break Media’s Prototype, the Sundance/Sloan Screenwriting grant, and the Berlinale Talent Campus. but now that all those are submitted, I have a bit more...
