Dee/Dee Hex (TV Pilot)
Dee/Dee Hex is an educational TV show aimed at introducing modern physics to children in the 8-11 age range. The pilot episode is in production, funded by the 2025 VCUarts Cinema Artistic Merit Award.
It is inspired by the 1960-1970s format of British children's entertainment, where educational topics about science and history are weaved into an engaging narrative with high stakes and dynamic character arcs.
Written and directed by Luc, Dee/Dee Hex serves as a merging of his passions and skills as a physicist and filmmaker.

Ceanothus 2722 (Novel)
Ceanothus 2722 is a 150k word NA science-fiction epic. Written and edited many times over the course of Luc's high school career, the novel is currently going through the process of a semi re-write to polish the high school storytelling into something comparable to Luc's current writing style. It is a reflection of the dynamics within his family during the rise of the first Trump administration, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the beauty of humanity when artificial concepts, like money, dominate.

Society has become rid of pesky buffers like “God” and finally worships the real omnipotent saviors of humanity: twelve oligarchical businessmen.
Agent Ian Corchel just wanted to fit into this utopia, so it’s a shame he decided to be gay. It’s not an illegal decision, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the holy logistics department has planned for his quiet assassination in two to three business days.
Things go awry when he's snatched up by one of the very terrorists he was assigned to execute, a handsome yet mentally unstable cyborg named Krymson, who believes he can incite a religious war against the state by exposing a bonkers conspiracy. Next thing Ian knows, he's in the middle of a century-old conflict ten light years from home with a dysfunctional family of terrorists who all hate each other.
But there’s no need to worry, since the oligarchs have dispatched an army and two cybernetic super-demons to deliver these ungrateful radicals straight to hell.
And Dollar-forbid they fall in love before the church can get to them.
Infracide (Novel)
INFRACIDE is a 100k word science-fiction political satire. Majorly written in the span of a year, the story delves into a complicated era of Luc's life where such an extreme level of narcissistic self-hate skirted the edge of delusion. Mixed with a comedic Starship Troopers style satire on modern politics and the American view on war, INFRACIDE is a story of self reflection, fear, and fury. (Currently Editing)

Lenny wants to kill himself. It’s the only logical path to end the guilt of cheating on his patriotic boyfriend, Leroy. But the United States of America offers another path in their valiant war against the Neo-Communist powers. A path of redemption.
As a transgender man, Lenny isn’t allowed traditionally serve in the military. However, it seems the mental fortitude trans people develop after years of enduring a body they don’t agree with makes them the prime candidates for Capitalism’s newest line of defense: The Libertrons!
Most soldiers go insane when you strip them of their bodies and shove their gooey brains into a 9-foot-tall, bipedal tank robot... but not this soldier.
After the charismatic Supreme President, Junior, is kidnapped by Neo-Communist vermin, Lenny courageously leads America’s unstoppable force of cyborg super-soldiers across the primitive hellscape of China to rescue the beating heart of liberty, and just maybe win back the heart of Leroy.
