THE SCREENPLAY PORTFOLIO OF
LUKE RENNER
LUKE RENNER is a USC-Trained Screenwriter whose thesis script, AMERICAN FLESH, was optioned for production shortly after graduating. He followed that with OUT OF THE VILLAGE, a Bryan Singer-produced short film about the Ebola pandemic. Since then, he’s written a slate of high-concept scripts that balance spectacle with deeply human themes.
Whether the protagonists are drag queens, circus freaks, or inventors of time travel, Luke’s stories orbit the same core: the search for belonging and the quest to finally find your tribe.
His latest project, SAINT AND NICOLE DO A MURDER, is a darkly comic roadtrip about two drag queens on the run that blends pulp thrills with queer camp.
Professionally, Luke also directs commercials and branded films for Silicon Valley tech companies, bringing the same sense of story and emotion into the corporate world.
