After studying photography and gaining work as a freelancer, Lauren Hatchard has concentrated her studies in Film Production BA (Hons) at Staffordshire University.
Her directorial debut was screened at the 25th Jorvik Viking Festival in York to over 2000 spectators in early 2010. Following on from this saw the success of her experimental documentary short called 'We Were Here' that was nominated for BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY at EXPOSURES FILM FESTIVAL 2010.
Now in her third and final year of her degree, Lauren is currently working on a sci-fi short called 'Dust' that is currently entering the festival circuit after completion in January 2011.
