Actress Maria, and filmmaker Luke, travelled from LA to Spain in March 2020 to get married. The pandemic caused them to cancel the wedding, and forced them into lockdown with Luke’s mum, Karen, who had travelled all the way from Australia. Luke filmed it all and put it online as a series. They cancelled their wedding again when Maria fell pregnant. Luke filmed that too. Maria is now determined to get married. Luke, feeling stuck in Spain, thinks the only way to enjoy the wedding and cling to his old dreams is to film it. For Maria, sick of their life being public, it’s the final straw.
Luke is a graduate of the AFTRS. Soon after, he established, More Sauce, and went on to direct short films and television in Australia. In 2014 Luke created, produced and directed the online series, Low Life. It went on to win over 25 major festival awards. In 2017 he directed and produced the follow up series, High Life. The series has won over 30 major awards including Best Digital Original at C21 Content London. The series has sold to BBC3, Channel 9, CanalPlay and Fullscreen. During the pandemic Luke created, produced, directed and acted in one of the world’s first lockdown series, CANCELLED. Produced in Australia, Spain and Argentina, the series, has won 15 major awards including the Grand Jury Prize at both the Marseille and British Web Festivals as well as being nominated for a Rose D’Or. Luke’s feature film debut, a Netflix original, I Met A Girl, starring Brenton Thwaites and Lily Sullivan premiered at the Busan International Film Festival. He recently wrapped production on his second feature, an extension of his lockdown series, UnCANCELLED which filmed during the dramatic Fallas Festival in Valencia, Spain. The film starring himself and his real life wife, Maria Albiñana, and long time friend and collaborator, Socratis Otto, will be released in March 2024.
