My name is Lauren Pruitt (she/her) and I’m a Colombian-American Cinematographer and Filmmaker who has shot and directed a variety of projects ranging from comedy to sci-fi/fantasy to documentaries and branded films. My work is rooted in finding common ground in the midst of our differences with a focus on story and visuals. As a Cinematographer, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for directors and actors to achieve the performances they dream of. I’m inspired by the people that I encounter in daily life, music, color, and spaces.
In 2018, I spoke on the Kodak panel at SXSW and participated in AFS's Artist Intensive with Richard Linklater. I’ve worked with brands such as Seagram’s 7, Spotify, and Google, and a narrative feature that I shot entitled "Lousy Carter" is now streaming on Hulu and Amazon Prime after premiering at Locarno Film Festival in 2023. I’ve also written and directed several short films and my most recent short “Queen of the Night” won Best of the Fest Short at the South Texas Underground Film Festival and I’m currently developing my first feature film of the same title.
I live in New York City and would love to hear from you, so feel free to reach out and say hi!
