Luke Kondor is a podcaster, comic creator, filmmaker, and bestselling author. His short film ‘Keith’ – a film made with no ideas, no money, and no camera – went on to win the best low-budget short film at the London Film Festival and has since been played the world over. His work with Hawk & Cleaver’s ’The Other Stories’ podcast has brought in over 3 million downloads internationally, and he has dabbled in post apocalyptic fiction, bringing the immensely weird and wonderful ‘El Marvo’ to life through a successful Kickstarter campaign and has reached the top of the Amazon charts with his best-selling series ’The Rot’, written alongside Daniel Willcocks.
Luke’s credentials include 2x Vimeo Staff Picks, Grand Prix at the In Short Fest, 1st Prize at Five Lamps 24hr Film Competition, and Audience Choice at Focus Film Festival (not to forget the aforementioned Best Low-Budget Short Film at the London Short Film Festival).
Luke is also part-owner of the independent story studio, HAWK & CLEAVER, and happens to be one of my best friends, inspirations and co-writers.
