Renée Lukas is a "dramedy" writer.  An optioned screenwriter. A published author. And many say, a great person to be around… unless you’re talking about camping. In the woods. Renée will never camp in the woods because she’s seen The Edge way too many times.   Originally from Tennessee, Renée now lives in New England because it has the best lobster. Years ago, she couldn’t survive the guilt of leaving her family for L.A., so she studied film at Wright State University in Ohio, at what is now The Tom Hanks Center for Motion Pictures. She earned a B.A. in Motion Picture History, Theory and Criticism and went on to study at the Master’s level at UCLA Extension, Writing the Feature Film. She’s had two offers from major studios for television projects she developed with a top producer (known for his work in Lord of the Rings, The Green Lantern, Knowing, and children’s programming). Renee is a Nicholl Quarterfinalist screenwriter and author of five published novels (Bella Books). She specializes in humor that can cross genres and strong characters that jump off the page. She's provided coverage for others' scripts and was a reader for BlueCat International Screenwriting competition. If you can't figure out why a script isn't working, she's the one you want to look at it.     Renee has also taught Screenwriting for an adult education program and guest lectured at universities in both the U.S. and Ireland.  She has worked on scripted content for film and television, takes feedback very well, and, according to one producer, is "crazy fast" with deadlines.
