Why, hello there!
I’m Lukas, a Melbourne based Screenwriter.
Designed in Latvia but made in Australia, I’ve recently graduated from the Advanced Diploma of Professional Screenwriting from RMIT University in 2023, specialising in Comedy & Sitcom, TV Drama, and Feature Film.
I’m a movie junkie (test me with trivia!), and in the past have written and directed short films, managed cast and crew, cooked for presidents, kicked printers into submission and saved the universe on more than one occasion. But who’s counting?
My expertise in screenwriting allows me to breathe life into characters and build immersive worlds that resonate with viewers. Whether it’s a thought-provoking drama, an edge-of-your-seat thriller, or a heart-warming comedy.
I’m motivated to continuously push the boundaries of my craft and am always on the lookout for fresh opportunities to collaborate with like-minded professionals and create impactful content that resonates with audiences worldwide.
As a Melbourne based Screenwriter, let’s connect over a cuppa and explore how we can work together to bring your creative vision to life!

“I’ve worked with Lukas as a colleague in the RMIT Advanced Diploma of Screenwriting for a couple of years now. In that time I’ve found that Lukas crafts rich and immersive story worlds that engage audiences. His attention to detail in building the world of his stories includes an ability to generate storyboards and visually complex look books to bring stories to life in the planning and development stage, which pays dividends throughout the script development phase of his stories.
He has a keen understanding of the human experience, which particularly shines when writing genre pieces. His characters are flawed, multi-faceted and recognisedly human, and I’ve found his knowledge of Japanese cultural influences, which I’ve seen him deploy in a few stories, is also first rate.”

“Over my career I have had the pleasure of meeting numerous cameramen and women and Lukas has a great way of dealing with subjects to put them at ease and get good footage...
…The work executed by Lukas was of a very high standard, working his own ideas into the brief given in a very effective manner and delivered ahead of deadline.”
