About

Known for his moody visuals, sharp storytelling and the cult psychological thriller Rabbit, Luke Shanahan brings a unique voice to the roster. Blending art-house edge with commercial polish, Luke’s repertoire spans film, television and advertising. Widely regarded as one of Australia’s most compelling writer-directors, Luke’s body of work encompasses both comedy and emotional drama. 

Luke is very well known to the New Zealand commercial scene having spent several years with Mark Foster at Robbers Dog then Nik Beachman at Thick As Thieves where he directed award winning work for Telecom/Spark, Holden, ASB, TAB and the Co-Op Bank while his globally awarded “Little Fibs”spot for NZ Post through FCB took out Best Direction of a Commercial at the (ADG) Australian Directors Guild Awards.

Recently, Luke’s debut feature, the psychological noir/thriller Rabbit, premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival and was hailed as a critics pick, achieving an impressive 83% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes (no easy feat). But he does want people to recognise that he’s very funny too.
