LUKE GREENFIELD (director) began making movies at the age of ten. At 16, Steven Spielberg viewed his high school films and was so impressed that he wrote Greenfield a two-page handwritten letter urging him to continue his filmmaking.
Greenfield attended the USC School of Cinema-Television as an undergraduate.
With his prior production experience, Greenfield excelled in film school and was chosen to direct USC's prestigious "480" film.
Greenfield's student film, Alive & Kicking, was a stand-out success, winning film festivals across the country. In 1999, the young director went on to write and direct an edgy comedy called The Right Hook. The 10-minute short attracted enormous attention and served as a "calling card" for Greenfield's writing/directing talent.
While editing The Right Hook, Greenfield created a shocking episodic series called Go Sick! The comedy series is a 10-part hidden camera show in which Greenfield and a maniacal band of actors pull outrageous and sick stunts on unknowing victims all over Los Angeles.
The Animal is the first project Luke Greenfield directed but did not write. It marks his feature directorial debut.
