Lauren Patrice Nadler has been written up in SSN for being one of Five Directors to watch (http://www.studiosystemnews.com/five-directors-to-watch/). She was born in Queens, New York and at an early age proved to be a rebel, struggling with structure and formal education. It was her eclectic tastes, individuality and refusal to conform that led to her unorthodox, effective and exciting teaching methods. Lauren permanently relocated to Los Angeles in 2001 to act, teach and direct after casting Adrien Brody in his first lead role in the indie film, "Ten Benny." Since then, some directing projects include "El Mariachi Negro" (Cultures Collide Film Festival), "Dead Girl" (Best Director and Best Short Film, Filmjack Film Festival), and "One Last Shot" which serves as a PSA for anti-bullying/ teen suicide prevention and traveled the festival circuit for a year. To add humor in her roster, Lauren directed and produced comic web series "It's You Not Me- The Series" (http://itsyounotmetv.com/?page_id=936), psychological thriller "The Dead Diaries: Initiation" (with Alex Nuestaedter and Kyle Allen to be released soon) and episodes of a new YouTube Comedy series "Saturday Night Taped" which she directed and stars many MJRs, currently being released (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVNdzWyv2v4hJqgj72hDw1Q). Lauren continues independently teaching and coaching actors with unyielding passion and has been instrumental in the rising careers of newcomers Alex Neustaedter ("Ithaca" and "Colony") and Kyle Allen ("The Path"), as well as Aramis Knight ("Into The Badlands"), Brit Morgan ("True Blood"), Shay Mitchell ("Pretty Little Liars"), Jacob Artist ("Glee"), Parker Young ("Suburgatory") TIM JO ("The Neighbors"), Khylin Rhambo ("Enders Game"), Joseph Julian Soria ("Army Wives"), Jeremy Luke ("Don Juan's Addiction") and many many others.
