Hi Lukas! You started your career as a child actor in the ‘80s Hollywood scene. Do you think the industry has evolved since then?

I remember the ‘80s as being amazing. I was obsessed with acting, so it all felt very natural and I felt really fortunate to be getting to do what I loved. As I got older and went through my teenage years, I had to grapple with how my career would develop as an adult. That was a challenging time, but it was also an important learning experience.

Even the simplest of actions, such as writing, becomes a matter of discussion whenever lines, shapes and dimensions differ from what is considered the ‘standard’. While these statements might be true for most people, DEFER breaks this canonical mould and embraces the beauty of imperfection.
