Michael Lukk Litwak

Michael Lukk Litwak is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker that was born and raised in Los Angeles. He likes to tell character-driven stories that embrace the absurd, often through a lens of classic genre-filmmaking. His NYU Thesis film 'The Life and Death of Tommy Chaos and Stacey Danger' is an unflinching look at the brutal effects of space-dinosaurs on a relationship, a topic that resonated across the world: after taking home NYU's top prizes and playing at more than 40 film festivals around the world, Deadline Hollywood voted it the #1 Short Film of 2014. Since then he's sold a TV pilot to Sony, 2 feature scripts ('The Invasion of Gary' and 'Chaos and Danger') to independent producers and directed Snatchers Season 3 for Warner Brothers and Go90. He's directed Ads & Branded Content for Subway, Burger King, Squarespace, Elite Daily, Vox Media, Spotify, Snapchat and in 2016 he teamed up with Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow), Melisa Wallack (Dallas Buyers Club), Condé Nast, Jaunt, and Samsung to direct and produce the first ever scripted VR series titled 'Invisible'. He was selected to be a writer-in-residence at The Wassaic Project in upstate NY and has recently become their yearly film curator.
