Oh, I've been looking forward to this interview. Thank you, Luke. Thank you, Scott. With Luke's appreciation of voice acting, I wonder if it's something he has any interest in doing himself. I only recently came across ReadThrough.com, and while I look forward to working with them as a writer, I'm thinking of signing up as an actor, too. Please pass along to Luke with my best wishes if it's something he might enjoy. If Luke is taking follow-up questions, I'm interested in whether he has read any writing books that he would recommend, or if he is learning through trial and error and osmosis from living in a writing house. Thank you both again for the interview, and Luke, thank you for inspiring your dad to start this blog. Shaula

When Luke says that there are 10 or 11 stories he's gotten invested in, he means he's written around 50 pages on each of those stories. ; ) Overall, I'd estimate he's written more than 800 pages in the last 5 years. Like father, like son in both creativity and productivity, it seems.

Everything I was hoping for and more. Love the section where he describes his favorite movies!

Entertaining interview! Luke seems like he's a kid on a mission. I wouldn't be surprised to see him writing films for a living in the future (and doing well at it). You're setting a good example, Scott :-)

Delightful! And thanks to Luke, I now know how to answer those among my friends who take on this uncomfortable, almost haunted look whenever the clay-mation-ish version of "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" comes up in conversation. Thank you, Sir Luke, for all that's gone into the story, so far...

What an inspiring morning read - Father and Son each storytelling about storytelling. Seeing a 12 year old writer with a Top Ten Movie List with choices as diverse as "The Empire Strikes Back", "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Seven Samurai" gives me great hope for the future of moviemaking.

Luke might like this description of the Wizard of Oz that I read on-line: "Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill again." Seriously, thanks for the interesting interview. Luke sounds like he's already figured out how to find the animals in his stories, work out the problems, and make them better. Thanks for inspiring this blog!
