Kenny Luck is an author, filmmaker; photographer; videographer; and a doctoral student studying Human Development at Marywood University in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He released the documentary ‘Half Empty: Life in America’s Unhappiest City’ in 2016 and ‘Opioid Nation: The Making of an Epidemic’ in 2017.
