DEMIAN LICHTENSTEIN
During his senior year at New York University film school, Lichtenstein formed Lightstone
Entertainment. After graduating in 1988, he went into directing music videos, and became
quite successful within the industry working with the likes of Sting, Eric Clapton, Cypress
Hill and Gloria Estefan.
Chairman of the New York Independent Film Coalition for two years, Lichtenstein has directed,
produced, written, photographed, taped and/or recorded audio on over 225 short films, music
videos, commercials and concerts.
Along with his music industry experience, he also worked on a television series, The
Company, in 1989. Eight years later, Lichtenstein took a stab at feature films and wrote,
directed and produced Lowball, an indie-film that went largely unnoticed. His second
attempt, 3000 Miles to Graceland, about a bank heist during an Elvis convention, granted
him a larger studio, bigger budget, and a big-name cast with Kevin Costner,
Kurt Russell, Courtney Cox and Christian Slater.
