Lila Lucchetti grew up in central New Jersey. At an early age it was clear she had artistic potential. She was reading and writing on a high school level while still in grade school and had her first gallery showing at age 12.
She rejected several NY art schools and NYU in order to attend a Division 1 university with anticipation of an athletic scholarship in cross country and track. Her hopes were soon crushed when she tore her ACL several weeks before her freshman year. As fate may have it, Lila took this opportunity to immerse herself into her writing, experimenting with screen writing and later stumbling across acting as a prerequisite to a directing class.
Lila graduated magna cum laude from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington majoring in theatre and film studies and minoring in creative writing. Lila's many theatre credits in North Carolina include: Lala Levy in "The Last Night of Ballyhoo," May Logan in "Eastern Standard," Jessie Rose in "Insane in the Membrane?," and The Pupil in "The Lesson." This spring, Lila can be seen in the Lionsgate feature Cabin Fever 2.
