luke o’sullivan
executive producer with 10 years of production leadership across the united states & Australia
I have recently returned to my hometown of Melbourne after 10+ years living and working in Los Angeles
I would love to bring my experience producing high-end visual content showcasing amazing locations and architecture around the world to this role at Abode
I got my start producing low budget productions from the ground up. I am very hands-on and am used to overseeing every aspect of a production from start to finish.
While Lucid Productions has since become a full-service production company, I have remained the sole producer on every single project, handling everything from top to bottom, from pre-production to post.
a proven leader in global production
world-class visual campaigns
In 2019 I founded Lucid Productions, a Los Angeles-based production company specializing in creating high-end visual campaigns for international brands shooting in the U.S.
Lucid Productions has since become the trusted production partner for top global brands & ad agencies creating content in LA, NY and around the U.S
global teams, united vision
I’ve led teams of 50+ across multiple time zones, managing the needs & expectations of a large group of stakeholders. My passion is ensuring that a diverse range of talented people all have what they need to excel in their unique roles.
a birds-eye view
With years of experience overseeing a range of creative disciplines, I have in-depth knowledge of how to strategize, coordinate, innovate and spearhead the production of ambitious projects from concept to final rollout.
Combining this practical experience with mindfulness & reflection, my strength lies in being able to zoom out & view complex production operations from a broader perspective.
investing wisely
Responsible for executing productions with massive budgets & those with limited resources, I have extensive experience balancing big ideas with smart spending to achieve exceptional results.
It’s not just about how much money you spend or save - it’s about knowing how to invest that money wisely and in the right areas.
locations
A big focus of my work has been on scouting and securing incredible filming locations for my clients, including iconic landmarks and architectural homes.
Every project on my website required me to single-handedly research, scout and negotiate location agreements, secure permits and manage on-location shoots around the world.
LIFESTYLE, TRAVEL, ARCHITECTURE & CELEBRITY
While most of my work has not been for Broadcast TV, I believe my extensive experience producing high-end lifestyle, celebrity and location-driven content is perfectly suited to Abode’s slate of projects.

narrative & directing experiencE
In addition to my experience as a producer, I have also directed both commercial and narrative projects, demonstrating strong storytelling skills and a keen editorial eye.
My short film BLINDSPOT premiered at the LA Shorts International Film Festival, screened at the Micheaux Film Festival in Los Angeles and was a semi-finalist at the Australian Independent Cinema Festival & Flickers Rhode Island Film Festival.
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
With roots in Melbourne +
a decade in LA
Few people in Australia have the experience producing in both the US & Australia that I have, not to mention local knowledge & connections in Los Angeles and around the United States.
While this role is based in Melbourne, working for a company that has production operations in both Australia & The United States would be a great opportunity to utilize the best of everything I have to offer in the most impactful & effective way.
A part-time role like this would be perfect for me as I settle back into Melbourne and figure out my next move.
