Luke Matheny Biography

Luke Matheny is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on December 23, 1976 in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, United States. “I am a huge jazz fan and have always loved jazz photography from 1950s to 1960s. The film will open in a bohemian-ish jazz setting so I decided that a black- and-white visual treatment would add a cool, romantic, and nostalgic feel. My cinematographer Bobby Webster was an integral part of helping me realize that vision. We watched many films with jazz scenes. We were particularly drawn to ‘I Want to Live!’ and ‘Paris Blues. In some of the film’s montage scenes, the French New Wave was also an aesthetic influence.

Matheny arrived in New York in 2004 as a graduate student at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Earano was Matheny’s first NYU student film. It was a humorous twist on Cyrano De Bergerac. The title character had unusually large ears and a large nose. Earano was awarded the King Award in Screenwriting at NYU’s First Run Festival. He also won Best Student Short at Dam Short Film Festival, Boulder City, Nevada. New York Magazine reviewed Earano and wrote that it was “one of our favorite films of recent years.” It stars Luke Matheny and is directed by Earano. The film’s charming and funny short film features a lead character who doesn’t have a huge proboscis, but has two large ears and longs to meet Emily Young, a beautiful librarian, who has the eyes for a handsome Ukrainian janitor.

Between 2013 and 2015, Matheny also directed ten episodes of the comedy television series Maron.

For his thesis project at NYU, Matheny wrote, directed and starred in the Academy Award-winning film, God of Love. The film is a comedy about a lounge- singing darts champion Raymond Goodfellow (portrayed by Matheny) “who finds his prayers are answered – literally – when he receives a mysterious package of passion-inducing darts.” The catch is that the woman he loves, a drummer in his band, is in love with Ray’s best friend, the guitarist in the band. Matheny funded God of Love with a combination of student loans, his savings and some production grants, and shot the film in 10 days. Matheny described the bohemian feel he sought to establish for the film as follows:

Matheny and three of his friends devised a plan to film a movie about three Chicago losers who quit their jobs to move to Paris to become street musicians. Matheny and three of his friends quit their jobs and moved to Paris in May 2001 to begin filming the film. The film premiered at 2003 Wilmington Independent Film Festival. Matheny recalls, “It wasn’t easy; we hit the ground. Then, we started casting people from the street.” We were having fun with Parisian models. It was like a strange Cinderella experience. We were all broke at the end and still lived with our parents. … It’s probably 33 minutes long, but we had no idea what was going on. Then I realized that I wanted to continue doing this.
