Behind the Scenes

Lauren has found herself working behind the scenes as frequently as on camera. She's been a production assistant for dozens of live events including product launches, music festivals, film and television premiers, private events, and award shows. Last year she served as a producer alongside the sponsorship production team at Bravo Con, Las Vegas where she spearheaded a new means of crowd tracking and giveaway distribution.  She studied technical theatre at her alma mater and secured an internship with Pacific Coastal Conservatory, performing carpentry and welding for Solvang Festival Theatre. She has a very niche skillset, that of vacu-forming which is the manipulation and fabrication of heated plastic. She fabricated the headpiece worn by the mascot in a recent Juicy Drop commercial. Lauren has served as the assistant to the vendor director of Same Same But Different Music Festival in Southern CA for the last two years. Earlier this year she tried her hand as first AC for the fantasy drama, "The Witching Hour," directed by Steph Martinez. Lauren flourishes most in fast-moving creative environments where her cool demeanor and commitment to problem-solving are always welcome.
