Lauren Midwinter is trained as a director at Drama Centre London (Central St. Martins) which is reflected in her performer-centric approach; she encourages talent to feel comfortable and give honest, open performances.

Whilst performance is at the heart of her work, Lauren is very much a visual storyteller. Her use of colour, composition and camera movement thoughtfully invites an audience into the story. It's naturalism with an unexpected, subtle visual twist. Her work often explores bold subject matters with a sensitive and curious approach. She is drawn to stories that look at social norms through a fresh lens and playful, tongue-in-cheek storytelling.

Her films have screened in worldwide festivals, art galleries, international flagship stores, and major online platforms. Lauren has worked for brands including Swarovski, Marie Claire, Samsung, Just Strong, Lucozade, and The Sunday Times. Lauren’s inspiring film “Glimpses”, a film about the daily impact that Dementia has on families everywhere, was shortlisted for the “Director - Frank Budgen Award” at the 2024 British Arrows.
