Arthur Luhn, who was born completely deaf, emigrated from Aspen, Colorado to Vermont. It was at this time he discovered making movies at the age of 7 or 8 through being exposed to a 8mm film camera his stepfather had. It was not long before he was wreaking havoc on the family household, making short movies ranging from horror to comedy. The introduction of a VHS movie camera into the household only made things worse.

With his transfer to the high school, the household became a lot more sane as Arthur's passion in filmmaking waned. From high school he went on to attend Boston University where he intended to major in Archaeology. He found the mathematic and ethical aspect of the field very tedious and boring. That, along with the death of a close family member, inspired him to change his major to religion and philosophy where he studied extensively and read voraciously in the fields of philosophy, mythology, religion, and psychology, earning a degree in comparative religions study.

A few years after graduating, his interest in filmmaking was reawakened with the purchase of a drastically marked down video camera at a department store. It was not long before he was making movies at a furious pace, starting with his first short film, "Destination Eyeth," which was featured on PBS's "History Through Deaf Eyes" that aired nationwide. He went on to write and direct his first full length feature, "The Golden Legacy" a year later and it won for best picture at the CIMI festival in Chicago. This was followed by "Conned" which got into a number of film festivals, winning a handful of awards along the way, including for best picture, best director, and best cinematography, and was picked up for distribution in fall of 2012.
