LUCA BERCOVICI
A third-generation filmmaker, Luca Bercovici was born in New York and raised in such far-flung places as London, Rome, New York and California. After attending College of the Redwoods and Santa Monica College, he graduated from Loyola Marymount University.
In 1979, he spent six months in Japan, working on the miniseries, SHOGUN, as Dialogue Director, specifically working with Japanese actress, Yoko Shimada (Golden Globe Winner, Emmy Nominee).
Upon returning to the United States, he launched an acting career and has starred in many feature films including AMERICAN FLYERS (starring Kevin Costner, directed by John Badham), CLEAN AND SOBER (starring Michael Keaton, directed by Glenn Gordon Caron), PACIFIC HEIGHTS (also starring Michael Keaton and Melanie Griffith, directed by John Schlesinger), K2 (starring Michael Biehn, directed Franc Roddam), DROP ZONE (starring Wesley Snipes, directed by John Badham), THE BIG SQUEEZE with Lara Flynn Boyle, and most recently starred in FLATLAND with Dennis Hopper.
In 1982, he began his professional writing career, working with his partner Jefery Levy, developing new series concepts for MGM, culminating in a pilot script for CBS and MGM, THE STORYTELLERS. He has also written for Aaron Spelling Productions and others. In 1984, he and Jefery Levy co-wrote a feature film script, NEW DEAL which was subsequently purchased by 20th Century Fox. Also that year, Bercovici made his directorial debut with the hugely successful film GHOULIES, which he and Jefery Levy co-wrote for Empire Films. GHOULIES was the top grossing independent film in 1985 and has spawned three sequels. In 1988, Bercovici directed his second feature, a musical comedy about a vampire, ROCKULA, which he also co-wrote.
In 1993, Luca Bercovici directed his third film, DARK TIDE, for Trimark and Tapestry Films, an action thriller starring Chris Sarandon, Richard Tyson and Bridgette Bako (#1 R.O.I, Showest 1994). In 1994, Bercovici made his fourth feature, directing a horror-comedy, which he scripted, entitled THE GRANNY, starring Stella Stevens and Shannon Whirry for Tapestry Films and WarnerVision.
THE CHAIN, an action drama starring Gary Busey, is Luca Bercovici’s fifth feature film. THE CHAIN sold exceptionally well at AFM and was picked up by HBO for a World Premiere. In addition to directing, Bercovici also co-wrote the script. In 1997, Bercovici directed his sixth film, CONVICT 762 for EGM International and in 1998, his seventh, BITTERSWEET for King Films International.
Luca’s eighth feature, LUCK OF THE DRAW, stars William Forsythe, Dennis Hopper, Eric Roberts, Ice-T & Michael Madsen. He has recently finished writing a four hour miniseries for a Japanese media company about an infamous WWII-era broadcaster.
