Early Life
Greenfield wanted to be a film director since the age of ten after he was given a super 8 camera. He made films throughout the years and attended USC's School of Cinematic Arts. When he was 13, his mother wrote a passionate letter to Steven Spielberg, with it she enclosed Luke's films and asked Spielberg "Does my son have what it takes to make it?". Steven wrote back and encouraged Luke to go to film school.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“The Americans never use the word peasant, because they have no idea of the class which that term denotes; the ignorance of more remote ages, the simplicity of rural life, and the rusticity of the villager have not been preserved among them; and they are alike unacquainted with the virtues, the vices, the coarse habits, and the simple graces of an early stage of civilization.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
“Children became an obsessive theme in Victorian culture at the same time that they were being exploited as never before. As the horrors of life multiplied for some children, the image of childhood was increasingly exalted. Children became the last symbols of purity in a world which was seen as increasingly ugly.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
