About Lauren
Lauren has always displayed a passion for storytelling. As a kid, she loved to make little movies with her friends. When she turned fourteen she started acting in local indie and student films, immersing herself in the Boston film community. Lauren credits much of her knowledge of the industry to Boston Casting, who nurtured her development from a young age. She has delighted in witnessing the growth of the Massachusetts film industry since the implementation of the tax credits, which has allowed Lauren the opportunity to audition for roles in major tv shows and movies. Although, she recently moved to New York City, Boston Casting is still allowing her to audition as a local hire. Lauren looks forward to the increase in opportunities granted from living in NYC, while still remaining connected to the growing Boston film industry.
Lauren loves being both on camera and behind the scenes. With the insight from collaborating with student filmmakers around Boston, Lauren decided to attend Boston University, where she received her Bachelor of Science in Film and Television. Since graduating in the Spring of 2021, she has worked as a production assistant, actress, and assistant editor. She has also created four of her own short films. Lauren is eager to continue to grow as a storyteller.
