I am a London-based writer and director from Holland and Greece, who grew up in a single parent, low-income artist studio in London. Having navigated both sides of the social divide, I attribute my unique perspective to my characters and their cinematic worlds. An inquisitive, ambitious, confident and devoted screenwriter and director, I love working with ideas, as much as I love working with people, dedicated to crafting the most captivating and resonating stories on screen. I have experience on set as a director, assistant director, art director, production/set designer, script supervisor and plenty experience as 3rd AD/ runner.

Since completing my master’s in screenwriting last November, I have embarked on an internship with Atlantic Productions, a multi-award winning independent factual production company, where I gained skills in TV Development, TV Production, Post-Production Facilities, Zoo VFX and Alchemy Immersive VR.

Furthermore, I have been developing numerous creative projects alongside freelance independent filmmaking, script-editing and part-time assistant producing with News UK. I also teach filmmaking and drama on-site with MN Academy. Currently, I am editing 'The Cats Can’t Leave', a short psychological drama I wrote and directed on my super 8 in Spain. I am further writing a psychological coming-of-age feature 'How To Ride Horses' which I am directing in California, October 2025. My work is inspired by the psyche and metaphysical drama, and I fascinated with the camera as the ‘other’. For a greater presentation of my background, qualifications and filmmaking style, please do not hesitate to email me (lucacap@live.co.uk) for my CV. 

Fundamentally, I am an experienced writer in factual and drama, and having received a first in English Literature BA Hons at Exeter, I have procured a deep understanding of academic and creative storytelling skills. I believe that my history in achieving consecutive A*s at school, as well as achieving top 5% quartile in Cambridge assessments 2017, and being an excellent researcher and scholar at university as evidenced in my Dean's Commendation Award for intellectual ability, have been essential to myself as an artist and my ability to create unique, original, compelling and impactful projects.

Alongside filmmaking, I am an avid long-distance runner and I like to paint in oils. I have a passion for singing, especially on stage. I also religiously write film reviews. I am as introverted as I am extroverted. I am extremely gregarious and personable and find talking to people highly stimulating. I thrive on the collaborative element of filmmaking while on the contrary, I spend a lot of time on my own creating stories. Read Less
