Luke is a graduate of the AFTRS. Soon after, he established, More Sauce, and went on to direct short films and television in Australia. In 2014 Luke created, produced and directed the online series, Low Life. It went on to win over 25 major festival awards. In 2017 he directed and produced the follow up series, High Life. The series has won over 30 major awards including Best Digital Original at C21 Content London. The series has sold to BBC3, Channel 9, CanalPlay and Fullscreen. During the pandemic Luke created, produced, directed and acted in one of the world’s first lockdown series, CANCELLED. Produced in Australia, Spain and Argentina, the series, has won 15 major awards including the Grand Jury Prize at both the Marseille and British Web Festivals as well as being nominated for a Rose D’Or. Luke’s feature film debut, a Netflix original, I Met A Girl, starring Brenton Thwaites and Lily Sullivan premiered at the Busan International Film Festival. He recently wrapped production on his second feature, an extension of his lockdown series, UnCANCELLED which filmed during the dramatic Fallas Festival in Valencia, Spain. The film starring himself and his real life wife, Maria Albiñana, and long time friend and collaborator, Socratis Otto, will be released in March 2024.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
