Lauren grew up in Los Angeles in the small hippie town of Topanga Canyon. As a kid, she was always adventuring into the state park and making movies in the backyard.
Lauren’s career began in print journalism — as a feature writer and, later, as managing editor of three award-winning Seattle-based magazines.
Lauren comes from a family of film editors. So, needless to say, they talk a lot about movies at dinner.
