Lukas Lane is an actor, filmmaker, and playwright who recently earned his MFA in Dramatic Writing from NYU Tisch. His work often explores underdogs and subcultures, from an anarcho-commune in Berkeley to kids in the juvenile detention system, rural hillbilly influencers, and the dark underworld of Manhattan’s nightlife. As a filmmaker, Lukas has directed and produced a range of short films and web series for brands such as Ford, Vans, and the HFPA. His stage plays have been produced at UC Berkeley’s Barestage and NYU. In 2020, he collaborated with a group of LA-based poets to write the feature film Summertime, which premiered on opening night at Sundance. Recently, Lukas served as Media Director for If I Awaken, a multidisciplinary performance event at the Ford Theater in Los Angeles that blends film, poetry, and live performance. Lukas’s latest project, El Rebote, a Barcelona-based short film he wrote and directed, starring Emmy Award-winning actor Jim O’Heir (Parks and Recreation), is slated to premiere on the international festival circuit. He is represented by Innovative Artists as an actor.
