About Me




Hi there, I'm Lauren. I'm in the film and photography programs at Brigham Young University and I'm studying to become a DP, sometimes known as a director of photography or cinematographer. I want to film movies! To me there is not a more beautiful form of communication than film because it combines so many incredible art forms: music, photography, writing, etc. I love the collaboration it requires to make a something that's more than the sum of its parts—ask me about it sometime and I'll talk your ear off!

Here are a few of my favorite films in no particular order: Gravity, Wit, Ever After, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Unbroken, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Good Will Hunting, Skyfall, Marie Antoinette, Sleepless in Seattle, The Theory of Everything, Million Dollar Baby, 42, About Time

Favorite Cinematographer: Roger Deakins
