Kia ora! I'm Loren (with an ‘o’), and that weird face up in the corner is a portrait that an old friend did of me with her eyes shut.

Currently based in Ōtautahi Christchurch, New Zealand, I’ve been focussing on my craft as a film editor for the past 8 years. Now with years of experience storytelling, I've embraced the role of directing. 

My journey into film began with a detour, suggested by my high school careers advisor. She steered me away from photography and told me to become a beekeeper (I’m deathly allergic). So naturally, we compromised.

Since then, I've dedicated myself to documentaries. I have a love for beautiful imagery of this world and those who inhabit it. I have spent the majority of my career shining a light on marginalised voices, communities & social issues with a sensitive approach. 

I’m deeply drawn to exploring the quirks of human nature and shared experiences. I have some kind of strange magnet drawing me to eccentric characters and extraordinary, unconventional narratives.
