Lauren Havel
DIRECTOR. EDITOR. CINEMATOGRAPHER.
But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
1 Corinthians 1:27-29

SCREENED IN
This movie was my first attempt at a feature film! It was an incredible eye-opening experience to the world of filmmaking and challenged me in many ways. But at the same time it grew my passion for filmmaking and my desire to do it more. I thank God for all the things it taught me!
NOT BROKEN
'Not Broken' is Lauren's second full-length feature. It has amassed over 4 million views on Encourage TV, placing it among the top twenty films released on that platform. This movie is about the struggles and triumphs of a dyslexic teen artist.
SCREENED IN
'Screened In', a narrative film about teens struggling with screen addiction, was Lauren's first full-length feature film that she began at age 14. It took the Young Filmmakers Award at the CWFF and was picked up by Bridgestone Multimedia Group shortly afterwards.
I HATE KATE
'I Hate Kate' was the first short film Lauren completed. She was only 13 years old at the time. After uploading it to YouTube, 'I Hate Kate' went viral, amassing over 7.5 million views. The story is based on the bullying her mother went through as a child.
