Lucas Belkind grew up in the desert oasis of Phoenix, Arizona with the childhood dream of becoming either Steven Spielberg or Indiana Jones. He decided to combine the two and to move to Los Angeles in 2004. Four years later, he had become a member of Phi Beta Kappa and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University of Southern California with a BA in Visual Anthropology (Documentary Filmmaking), an emphasis in Film Production, and a minor in theatre. During this time, he also entertained millions as he traveled across the United States (and the world) as a drum line member of the USC "Spirit of Troy" Marching Band, starred in the "Most Creative Film" at the 2004 Ed Wood Film Festival, co-hosted an AM radio show, was a USC liaison for Special Events for Disney/Buena Vista, won nearly $10,000 in prizes on "The Price is Right," and produced a nearly $100,000 35mm independent short film.Upon leaving USC, he began work at Principato-Young Entertainment as a personal intern for Paul Young, then later became an assistant to the President of Production, Matt Berenson. Though greatly enjoying his time there, he left in 2009 to pursue a Masters program in Visual Anthropology (Documentary Filmmaking) at the University of Manchester in Manchester, England.Since his return to the United States in late 2010, Belkind has worked on various productions in a wide variety of media formats. He has had the pleasure of working on independent feature films, shorts, television commercials, digital media, reality television, theme park attractions for Universal Studios Hollywood, and interactive experiences at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Burbank, California. Hide
