Lauren Freedman

Born and raised in the wide open spaces of a Northern Arizona town where wigwams outnumber chain stores and everybody really does know your name Lauren enrolled as a cinema-production student at the prestigious USC School of Cinematic Arts, where she served as a sound department assistant, aiding both students and professors. Lauren also honed her skill for directing and cinematography on various projects, including her short film Of a Feather and the student-produced dramatic pilot Rx, all the while interning at Sid Ganis' production company, Out of the Blue Entertainment. Upon completing her Bachelor's degree last May, Lauren has been busy working as a researcher and assistant editor on an upcoming documentary and writing tongue-in-cheek song lyrics for an all-girl Japanese punk band. When she's not behind the camera or creating some colorful masterpiece, Lauren enjoys "authentic" Mexican food, playing her guitar in OK Go music videos, and Gilmore Girls marathons-don't judge, we know you do too.
