Luk Piyes was born March 30th 1975 in Cologne Germany. His passion for acting started in primary school and accompanied him from his Thai Box Championship days to his education at the Faculty of Law in Cologne.

As soon as he got a sponsorship he followed his desire for acting and took off to the US. His first stops were NY and L.A., where he studied screenwriting and directing. 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 on 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', which is currently in post-production, was shot in Antiochia, Istanbul and Berlin.
