Ezekiel N. Drews is a filmmaker, storyteller, and relentless creative force behind Lucid Films, Ltd. Co.—a production company built on bold ideas, fast execution, and stories that hit hard and stick with you.

Drews burst onto the scene writing his first screenplay, Happy Birthday, in just 12 days—a raw, emotionally charged piece inspired in the middle of a global pandemic. That same intensity and drive now fuels a growing slate of projects that blend psychological tension, cinematic style, and real-world themes.

His work includes the gripping political thriller The Deep State, the actor-driven showcase Self-Tape, and the haunting, minimalist short Signal Noise. He is currently developing the highly anticipated short film The Visitor, continuing his push into darker, thought-provoking storytelling.

But beyond the screen, Drews represents something bigger—momentum. Vision. Execution. He’s not waiting for permission—he’s building, creating, and proving that with the right mindset, you can turn an idea into something real.

And if that wasn’t enough—he’s the founder of the Milwaukee Independent Film Awards, creating a movement that’s championing indie filmmakers and turning Milwaukee into a launchpad for the next wave of storytellers.
