LUUS

WRITER-DIRECTORS

A STORYTELLING DUO.  

Kevin and Kelly Luu are a writer-director duo raised in New Bedford, Massachusetts and based in Los Angeles.  Inspired by their parents' harrowing journey to America, as well as their upbringing in an underserved, predominantly non-Asian community, the brothers are drawn to telling stories about identity and overcoming trauma in extraordinary ways. They graduated from USC’s MFA film program where they wrote and directed several award-winning short films, including REAL BOY, which won best Sci-Fi film at USC’s First Look Festival, and THE MATTRESS, which received the SCA Edward Small Directing Award and was invited to premiere at the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival.

The brothers were both mentees of Ryan Murphy’s Half Initiative and have developed projects with notables such as Cj Entertainment, CBS Studios, 20k Productions, and 1community. The two also wrote an original multicultural, supernatural narrative podcast series for Gunpowder & Sky. More recently, Kevin and Kelly were selected to take part in Soo Hugh’s and Universal Content Productions’ (UCP) highly competitive inaugural writing program, The Thousand Miles Project.

Kevin and Kelly are repped by Redefine Entertainment.
