It's a cliche, but why YOU? Why do you have to be the one to tell this story, and what voice do you bring to it.
Film and TV projects that are a "hard sell", but are original and engaging.
I would rather work one-on-one than in large groups, as I feel I can be more helpful that way. I also don't have a huge amount of bandwidth so I can only take on a small number.
Lucas Crandles was head writer on Steven Spielberg's 2020 reboot of ANIMANIACS and PINKY AND THE BRAIN across three seasons, overseeing every element of production — from the writers' room to voice records, music composition and final animatics. The show was Hulu's most viewed original series in the United States, holds a 90% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes, and remains in the Top 10 of PVOD series on Apple TV in 2026.
Lucas wrote his first feature film, THE FINNISH LINE, in 2024. The film is fully financed, with an A-list director attached. His second feature, HELLO WORLD was written in 2025 and is being produced by J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot. He recently sold MOB HOUSE, a pilot inspired by his break into Hollywood, which is in active development with Tony Ayres Productions in Melbourne, Australia.
Lucas teamed with Vince Vaughn and Tom Morello on DUNGEON MASTERS, a live-action one-hour drama about the origins of Dungeons & Dragons, sold to Paramount Television Studios. He has also sold two adult animated comedy pilots he co-created: DESTROY THE HUMANS at Hulu with comic Blake Weber, and Janky & Guggimon at Amazon Studios, based on the popular Superplastic toy line.
Before moving to Los Angeles, Lucas wrote, directed and produced content in Australia, staffing on shows including OPEN SLATHER, a sketch comedy featuring some of Australia's leading comedic talent. His original Australian live-action comedy The Weatherman was the world's first crowdfunded TV series, was featured in TIME Magazine, and was eventually purchased by 20th Century Fox. His original digital content has also been viewed more than 3 million times online.
Lucas is represented by a leading talent agency and Zero Gravity Management. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Dodge College of Film and Media Arts at Chapman University, where he teaches Writing for Animation, and loves mentoring young people as they break into the entertainment industry.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
