She co-owns a production and development company and has recently explored moving imagery and filmmaking and TV series including WIMMR 2.0 (Why I Murdered My Roommate Remix – On The Run) . Lukia pulls inspiration from shapes she sees and integrates the play of light and shadow into her works.

Last year, she founded Micro Mania Film Festival that showcases films not exceeding five minutes from all over the world. On its next edition, MicroMania Film Festival will be online via Seed & Spark’s streaming platform to take advantage of their online system, partnerships and incredible audience reach in order to take this fest to the next level. The festival is planning an encore screening October 8th, 2020 at the Transit Drive-In (Lockport, NY) Featuring up to 2 hours of MMFF2020 top rated short films.
