Director Biography

Luke Zwanziger is a writer and director focusing on stories about people stuck in untenable or abnormal situations, leaning heavily into comedy and horror which he views as two sides of the same coin.

He sold his car and bought a camera in 2011 and never looked back. The Horror pilot he directed "John Sunshine's Lost Rock 'N Roll Tapes" (2023) is currently on the festival circuit and winning awards.

His scripts have won or placed at various competitions including PAGE, HorrOrigins, NYC Midnight, ISA Emerging Writers, FilmLabtv, and more.

He has live directed over 700 multicam comedy shows including talent like Amber Ruffin, Jaime Moyer (AP BIO) and Stephnie Weir (MADtv).

When he isn't writing or filming, he is eating artisanal doughnuts and indulging in some ennui.
