Both a writer and a director, Luke Shanahan’s work focuses on comedy and performance, both observational and abstract. In fact, the darker the better. Absurdity is also good.
His 2006 breakout film, IT TAKES TWO TO TANGO, launched Shanahan’s unique style to the world and after premiering at the Melbourne Film Festival, went on to screen around the world in many festivals including, L.A, New York and London. In 2009, he made, THE NEWS, which went viral and introduced us to the character of, ‘Daniel’. The film has since screened in 22 countries and has been translated into 14 languages. It's prequel; PET (2011) is now showing at film festivals everywhere. Alongside his commercial work, he has a TV series (with Mark Heap and Stephen Curry) in development as well as the feature film, TALK FAST.
His commercial work has been heavily awarded all over the globe and he is represented by 8com throughout Australasia. For Film and TV work contact Amanda Davis through Curtis Brown, UK.
