Luke Gilford is a filmmaker and photographer from Santa Cruz, CA. Luke studied Art at UCLA and his photography and films have been exhibited around the world; including MoMA in New York and FOAM in Amsterdam, as well as at Sundance's NEXT festival. Luke’s work provides a poetic and cinematic look into his surreal world, taking a storytelling approach across multiple mediums and creating stunning imagery with a unique narrative vision.
