About Luc Haasbroek

Luc Haasbroek is a writer and videographer from Durban, South Africa. He has been writing professionally about pop culture for eight years. Luc's areas of interest are broad: he's just as passionate about psychology and history as he is about movies and TV.  He's especially drawn to the places where these topics overlap. 

Luc is also an avid producer of video essays and looks forward to expanding his writing career. When not writing, he can be found hiking, playing Dungeons & Dragons, hanging out with his cats, and doing deep dives on whatever topic happens to have captured his interest that week.

Industry Experience

Luc studied at the South African School of Motion Picture Medium and Live Performance before obtaining degrees in psychology and history from Rhodes University and the University of South Africa. A lifelong movie and book nerd, he has written articles for sites like Paste and Briefly and has also published short stories.

Favorite Media

Luc's favorite movies include Pulp Fiction, The Congress, and Before Sunrise. His favorite novels include The Secret History by Donna Tartt and Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.
