Lauren Veen, Co-founder and Owner
Lauren’s first foray into film came at the age of 11 when she used her dad’s camcorder to create the narrative short, “Brothers and Sisters on the Run!” about a misfit nun and monk running for their lives. In the three decades since, mission-driven adventure has remained a trademark of her cinematography and editing, with films focusing on teen survivalists in the Santa Ynez mountains, a collaborative performance between Klamath drummers and classical musicians at the edge of Crater Lake, and the first Immigrant Workers' Freedom Ride. She roots all of her work in emotional connection, using moments of honesty and intimacy to get to the heart of the story. Lauren served as co-editor of the PBS web series Music Makes a City Now and recently co-directed the documentary short, The Girl That Got Away. She lives in Berkeley with her partner and their two constantly on-the-run kids. You can check out her work here.
