LUKE MISTRUZZI
Director, Animator, Videographer, Editor
Before co-founding Powerline Films I worked as a commercial editor and stop motion animator, and helped make content for the likes of Disney, MTV, Koodo, CBC, Milk, YTV, Nickelodeon, and more. If curious here is my old stop-motion demo reel.
This experience provided me with a broad technical understanding of filmmaking which helps inform all of Powerline’s client driven projects.
Since co-founding Powerline Films I’ve enjoyed filming across North America and Europe, animating projects that tell the stories of innovation and hope, editing together films that showcase technology and educate public interests , and interviewing everyone. No doubt interviewing people from all walks of life is the best part of our job.
Currently I reside in Hamilton Ontario where when not making films I like to explore the city with my son.
