My name is Siara-Lauren. I have two first names and I know that’s a mouthful, but hopefully, most of the talking will be done by my films.
stay tuned for updates on my upcoming project.
After graduating with a degree in film production and presenting my thesis, I spent the summer cultivating proposals for a Netherlands Fulbright to make a documentary on Afro-Dutch biracial identity.
I was honored to move on to the next round of applications as a Semi-Finalist and three months later promoted to an Alternate status.
I’m based in Brooklyn, New York, but with your help, I could be in the Netherlands, set for success, by Spring 2024.

A still from my thesis film, “Life in the Between”. This story follows a six-year-old Black/white/Jewish girl named Sarruh, who looks to her father and sisters to piece together where she belongs in the United States.

My objective as a filmmaker is to tell a great story. The greatest stories come from our communities and the seemingly hidden gems that make our personal experiences more universal.
