Bio
Maximilla Lukacs is a Hungarian born director and visual artist.
A graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, she is an award winning filmmaker whose work has been featured in notable publications such as Vanity Fair, T Magazine, Vogue and The Huffington Post and showcased at prestigious galleries and film festivals around the globe. Her work has been shown at Roberts and Tilton Gallery in Los Angeles, Deitch Projects in New York, The Cob Gallery in London, The Anthology Film Archive in New York and the REDCAT Theatre in Los Angeles and many others.
A deft storyteller, Lukacs’ dreamy, psychedelic films are influenced by her love of mythology and mysticism, and grounded in a reverence for the cycles of nature. Her distinct works are imbued with a wild feminine spirit that is equal parts playful and haunting, skillfully blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
She has directed countless commercials and short films for Nowness, Taschen, Johnson & Johnson, Christy Dawn, Samantha Pleet, the BBC and others, as well as music videos for The Pixies, Courtney Love, First Aid Kit, Karen Elson, Lou Doillon, and many more.
She currently resides in Los Angeles.
