Luke Shanahan

Australian Writer/director Luke Shanahan is best known for his black sense of humour, razor sharp dialogue and deft comic timing.

In 2007, he wrote and directed the short film, It Takes Two To Tango, a black comedy that went on to premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival and also went on to screen at Palm Springs, San Francisco, L.A and Chicago film festivals. His recent short film The News premiered at Tropfest 2010 and was a critical smash. The News has since screened around the world, having recently notched up its 30th film festival and was voted one of the top twenty comedies of the year at Future Shorts. Luke has also amassed an award-winning portfolio of TV commercials and video clips.

Luke is currently developing The Morgan, a black comedy with Mark Heap and Stephen Curry attached, and also Talk Fast, a feature film with leading Australian actress Maeve Dermody in the lead role.
