Luke Esders
Biography
I am a writer and director who graduated with a degree in Film from Falmouth University. I have been writing stories frequently since 2018. My style of writing is proposing different perspectives on known topics, swaying or bringing a new original understanding to these topics. I love making audiences question or think about situations differently. Film making is not a one-person job and needs an entire crew of creatives all collaborating to create a good piece of media. Finding a balance and a crew who are extremely passionate about the film and the work they are bringing to the table, it's beautiful.
