بیوگرافی
Lorena Lourenço is an award-winning director, writer, and producer from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and a USC School of Cinematic Arts alum. She is passionate about telling stories from marginalized perspectives that highlight cultural identity, the immigrant experience and female strength (though she barely works out).
Driven by a passion for all things cinema, Lorena has also worked in a variety of mediums, from commercials to music videos, series, comedy specials, documentaries and shorts. Her short film Pedagogy was accepted into the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival, where it received high praise, including a 6-page-spread in European magazine Cinéwomen. Her pilot script "Divine Period" was a semi-finalist in the Series-Fest Women's Writing Competition. The internationally acclaimed and worldwide award-winning short she wrote, directed and edited, Joy, investigates her experiences as an immigrant woman of color in Trump's America. In latest news, her short Muy Gay Too Mexicano has been selected for competition at Outfest, Inside Out, LALIFF, and LADFF.
She has directed and/or produced with talents such as Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars), renowned jazz performer Kamasi Washington, Emily Osment (Hannah Montana), Ivy George (Big Little Lies) and Salina EsTitties (who should win RuPaul's Drag Race). Lorena has also shadowed Oscar nominee Jason Hall (American Sniper) at DreamWorks, as he directed Thank You For Your Service. She has worked in production for Tribeca and Sundance nominated documentaries as well as in television for Netflix, HBO, The CW, and others.
