Luk Piyes was born March 30th 1975 in Cologne Germany. His passion for acting started in primary school and accompanied him along his way, from Thai Box Champ, being a Street-Worker with 16, to the Law School Student. While studying at the Faculty of Law in Cologne, he continued to act on independent stages. As soon as he got a sponsorship he followed his desire for acting and took off to the US. His first stations were NY and L.A., where he soon studied screenwriting and directing as well. He returned to Germany and starred in several award wining films as a lead all over Europe. He always continued his work as a social worker. Establishing several anti-violence, anti-drug and anti-terror projects and giving seminars in schools and universities (often in war zones) gave him the urge to package independent film projects by his own. Short films in the States and Germany were soon followed by his first full-length features films 'Barut' and 'Ates' as an writer/director/producer in Istanbul, where he studied sociology. The third film 'Pasha' , is in Pre-Production and will be shot in Antiochia, Istanbul, Berlin and Cologne.
