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:
“It was common practice for me to take my children with me whenever I went shopping, out for a walk in a white neighborhood, or just felt like going about in a white world. The reason was simple enough: if a black man is alone or with other black men, he is a threat to whites. But if he is with children, then he is harmless, adorable.”
—Gerald Early (20th century)
“Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
