Producer:
Lukas Teren was Born in Czechoslovakia to a family of two artists. He followed in his mother’s footsteps and studied photography, but later on decided he needed an upgrade. Moving pictures seemed like a natural choice. After graduating from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava, he went on to work as a camera operator, learning from some of the best DPs in our country. Eager to be the best version of himself, he sought additional knowledge at masterclasses abroad, especially in L.A. The hard work paid off and he got his first big gig on a feature film as a DP. It was a very formative experience, and led him to experiment with the role of a director and producer. He has tried this role on several short projects and he’s currently working on a feature documentary called “Space Cowboy.”
