Max Lauren grew up as a Jewish, brace-faced, Harry-Potter-glasses-wearing, self-identified tomboy *cringe* on the glamorous North Shore of Long Island. While she hated it at the time, the experience has given her a lifetime's worth of tragically comical material to pull from.
She lived her childhood as if she was already an in-demand Hollywood writer/director. Between writing additional episodes of her favorite TV shows that ended, such as Full House, and directing elaborate music videos with friends and family- there was never a question about where Max's passions laid.
She graduated from Lehigh University with a BA in journalism and a double minor in psychology and creative writing, since one discipline was not enough to satisfy her inquisitive nature (or her ADHD). After graduation, she moved to Southern California to complete an MFA in Film Production with an emphasis in directing from Chapman University.
Max writes and directs films that are MAXimalist in style, but earnest in content. Movies that are not bound by genre; instead, films that focus on developing fully fleshed characters relearning facets of life they staunchly thought to be true.
