Creating the world we want to live in through impactful storytelling

Lauren Lindberg is an award-winning filmmaker whose passion for storytelling ignited at age 9 with a family camcorder. As a teen, she joined the Bay Area Video Coalition, crafting documentaries on mental health and environmental issues. By 18, her work had achieved national acclaim, earning awards like “Best Documentary” and “Filmmaker of Tomorrow” at top festivals, including Mill Valley, Los Angeles, and Big Sky. In 2011, she received the Jefferson Award for Public Service for her impactful social issue documentaries, with her work now part of the Paley Center’s permanent collection.

Lindberg earned her BFA in Film and Documentary from Chapman University, where she refined her craft under the mentorship of renowned filmmakers Sally Rubin, Lauren Greenfield and Rose Bush. After graduating, she built a career producing high-profile advertisements and multimillion-dollar campaigns for global brands.  In 2021, Lauren returned to her first love: documentary filmmaking. She has since served as showrunner for Freethink's Webby Award-winning docuseries Hard Reset, Your Brain on Money and countless other short films. For the past four years she has been creating a highly personal and universal film about brain injury and the power of our minds to create change. Her work bridges nonfiction storytelling with the whimsical, imaginative lens through which she sees the world, creating films that inform, inspire, and enchant.
