Hey there! I’m Luke Pedersen, a filmmaker and collaborative creator based in Austin. I’m drawn to telling human stories through hands-on production, from concept to post, with a friendly, team-oriented approach. My indie projects blend documentary and experimental styles, and I’ve produced and directed short films like Anthology - Series 5 and City Jazz, coordinating cinematography, logistics, and editing to bring bold ideas to life.
