Lauren Ciaravalli (writer/director) counts Woody Allen and John Hughes as her filmmaking heroes. Nothing makes her happier than a good story, but she's been known to play favorites with teen movies, romantic comedies, and film noir. Her first short film, a teen comedy called Tryouts, was warmly received by festivals, premiering at the 2013 Sarasota Film Festival. Tryouts, along with her other scripts, films and screenplays have been honored by writing competitions and festivals at NYU and beyond. While at NYU, Lauren served as Co-Director of the Fusion Film Festival, studied under Courtney Hunt and Susan Seidelman and worked in creative development at HBO Films. She graduated with a BFA in Film & Television and a minor in Spanish in May 2013.
