LUME Network
For everyone with a story to tell
And the passion to bring it to life.
What LUME is for
LUME Network is an app for storytellers: film, TV and stage artists. It's where you show your work and find each other, and where you make projects together.
Find your people. Create what's next.

The people behind LUME
Meet the founders
An actor and an engineer, helping you find your people.
Co-founder
Lisa Mihelich
Actor
Hey, I'm Lisa! I'm an actor. I grew up as a competitive figure skater, and after performing in a wide range of ice shows, I fell in love with the magic of storytelling.
I believe stories have the power to inspire positive change, create empathy, and help people feel a little less alone. There's something really special about bringing artists together who may never have crossed paths otherwise, giving us the chance to inspire one another, collaborate, and bring more stories to life. That belief, and my own journey as an artist, is a big part of why I'm so passionate about building LUME.
I can't wait to see what we create together!
Co-founder
Brent Mercado
Software engineer
Hi, I'm Brent, the software engineer side of LUME Network.
My partner Lisa is my connection to the entertainment industry. I've always loved movies (and video games, which tell great stories too), and through Lisa, I now have a huge respect for all artists involved in bringing a story to life.
I started building LUME to help her, using my skills as a software engineer to make something useful for her and for everyone working in the entertainment industry. My vision is pretty simple: people get to actually do the thing they love.
An artist and an engineer, building LUME together. That's us.
From the founders' camera roll
A note from the founders
LUME was built from a simple belief: some of the best things happen when the right people find each other.
We're building a community where creatives can connect, collaborate, discover opportunities, share what they're working on, and find the people who can help bring an idea to life.
Your next collaborator, your next project, your next opportunity, or the person who helps bring your story to life… could be one connection away.
