Tino Luciano
- Producer
- Director
- Stunts
Ever since he was a child, Tino Luciano has been fascinated by the old
west, its legendary stories and the cowboy way. In 1978, Tino was
exposed for the first time to the movie business, where he was a
background actor in the movie "Raging Bull". It was this experience
that would ultimately shape how Tino would choose to share his passion
of the old west.
In 1981 he left Chicago and staying true to his love of the old west, he became a modern day cowboy and became a Deputy Sheriff in Southern California where he served not only as a Deputy, but as a Chaplain as well. Tino is still and active Chaplain with the department to this day.
Tino has also been in the film and television industry now for over 20 years and has worked in all aspects of the film making process from being a Production Assistant to an Executive Producer. He also owns his own stunt company, Reel Time Stunts and has performed many daring stunts from car crashes to full body burns for independent feature films and shorts. He found his true love in the film business as a Director and melded his two passions to realize his dream of sharing the spirit of the old west on film and television. This was the birth of Law Dog Productions, LLC.
Over the last year and a half, Tino has directed 18 episodes of the western series entitled, "Tales of the Frontier" recently shopped at the Berlin Film Market. Tino just wrapped a short entitled, "Justice for All" which is based on the true story of African American Lawman, Marshal Rufus Cannon. This short will be entered into the big film festivals throughout the U.S and Canada. He will also be Directing his feature film entitled, "The Reckoning of Scarlet Waters" that is in pre-production right now and is slated to begin principle photography in late 2014.
