Director Biography - Lauren Greenhall

Lauren Greenhall is a director specializing in comedy and stories about unconventional people.

Her debut narrative feature Perfectly Good Moment starring Broadway star Stephen Carlile and Amanda Jane Stern is currently in it's 2023 festival cycle, earning it an Independent Visions nomination at Sarasota Film Festival.

Greenhall was a 2021 resident at the Jewish Film Institute for her documentary ZELDA, a film sponsored by the New York Foundation of the Arts about a beloved and controversial wig seller In Hasidic Jewish Brooklyn.

She has directed TV and video for Nat Geo, The New Yorker, The New York Post, CBS Interactive, HuffPost, Amazon Originals, and Inside Edition as well as branded content for Marvel, Footlocker, Dove, Sentry.IO, and the New York Public Library.

Greenhall directed comedy documentary special Haunted Mansions with Jo Firestone, VeryWell's first docu-series called "Stay Calm Mom" examining pregnancy from a pregnant woman's POV, served as a director/producer on CBS Interactive's comedy news show "The Breakdown with Luke Mones", and directed Milk Riders, a short documentary that received international attention and was featured on the New York Times, Slate, Refinery 29, Huffington Post, and Bust among others. The widespread reach of her digital series Muslims in America landed her the opportunity to speak at NYU about the relationship between religion and the media.

In May 2020 Greenhall directed and created the Miss Quarantine Pageant, a scripted comedy parody of beauty pageants. With a cast of 20, two original songs and a coordinated dance number, this 35-minute extravaganza was featured in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NY1, and The Stranger, among others.
