Lauren Noll

Lauren Noll is an L.A. based actor-director from the mountains of East Tennessee. Her feature
directorial debut, SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT, is a female-driven ensemble comedy
highlighting three women navigating the tensions of their cross-cultural relationships and the
pressures of modern life, friendship, and womanhood. It will premiere at SXSW 2026.

Hailing from a rich background in theatre, she earned her graduate degree in Acting at Harvard’s
American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.) and the Moscow Art Theatre (MXAT) before her focus
pivoted toward film. Lauren first stepped behind the camera with the short drama HONOR, an
intimate, autobiographically inspired story about coming of age, coming out, and facing
expulsion from Brigham Young University. The film earned multiple awards and launched her
new path as a filmmaker. She followed this short debut with GEN V, which began an ongoing
creative partnership with actor-writer Dalia Rooni and secured the pair a development deal with
Adi Shankar’s Bootleg Universe. The duo went on to make CLEAN SLATE, a recipient of the
Collaborative Film Challenge Grand Jury Prize and a grant from Blackmagic Design, before
embarking to make their first feature film SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT together.

Most recently, Lauren co-wrote and starred in the Oscar Qualified short film, THE HEART OF
TEXAS, which screened at more than 75 festivals worldwide and earned Lauren a dozen acting
awards on the festival circuit for her performance as Janie May, a down-on-her-luck country
singer caught between a last shot at her dream and the crushing responsibility she bears for
another dreamer she collides with on her path. Across all of her work, Lauren is drawn to
intimate, character-driven stories about ordinary people searching for grace and meaning in
chaotic worlds. Her love for actors and their craft is undeniably infused into her directing style.
She approaches each project with honesty, humor, and deep compassion, crafting stories that
reveal the beauty and hilarity of being human.

When Rana’s visa application is denied, she faces the reality of returning home to Iran. That is, until Adam – her wealthy boss’s son and her summer fling – proposes a green card wedding. Wrestling with the implications of his offer, Rana enlists help from a questionable shaman, Adam’s pure-hearted mom, and most importantly her two Iranian best friends Nadia and Setareh, who arrive on Cape Cod for a wedding weekend full of opinions, chaos, and drama with their own American boyfriends. Just as total disaster approaches, the three women come together in a transformative moment of acceptance, growth, and coming of age – evolving this weekend into one that will change them all forever.

Same Same But Different

An Iranian immigrant agrees to marry her boss’s son to stay in the U.S., but their simple green card wedding on Cape Cod gets complicated when her two Iranian best friends arrive with their own American boyfriends and cross-cultural baggage in tow.

DOSSEY started out making squeaky clean pop music in 2017 (NPR’s All Songs Considered actually referred to her in 2018 as “a joyous banquet of roséwave electro-pop”). But by now in 2025, the project has mutated into something brutal, noisy, honest, and unhinged. Motherhood, a slow unspooling of her faith, and the relentless static of American political and social climate have all pushed her toward the genesis of her own brand of dance punk - glitter grunge. So now, DOSSEY’s world hinges on distortion, punk rhythm and anthemic rock vocals influenced by The Clash, Nine Inch Nails and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

True’s debut EP, RIP TRUE, was released in 2025 and features standouts “Smooth Talking” and “Bad”.  Making music for the crashout girlies, these 4 songs encapsulate struggling with self-doubt and navigating out of her youth into her 20’s, allowing the audience to scream and dance through life, embracing the imperfections instead of sitting in it.
Her follow-up project explores a toxic relationship and how the heroine ultimately regains her power. The project will be released in Spring 2026 with two lead singles coming just before she takes Austin, TX by storm as part of this year’s South by Southwest Festival.

"Summer of ’94" reveals the wild rise of the U.S. Men’s National Team on the road to the 1994 World Cup—and the history they were never meant to make. With no league and no roadmap, a ragtag group of players and an unlikely coach endured a grueling two-year training camp, hoping simply not to embarrass their nation at the first-ever World Cup on American soil. Armed with camcorders, the players documented it all, capturing raw moments as underdogs grew into future legends. Featuring never-before-seen footage and new interviews with Alexi Lalas, Cobi Jones, Tony Meola, and coach Bora Milutinović, the film shares how chaos, chemistry, and grit forged a brotherhood that changed US soccer forever.

Change doesn’t ask for permission; it disrupts and transforms. For Louie Lee, this truth began early. Growing up in a trailer park outside Detroit, he witnessed his mother working three jobs to make ends meet, instilling in him an unyielding work ethic. Battling a hearing impairment while soaking in the diverse sounds of metal, hip hop, rock, pop, and country, music became his escape and means of expression. The loss of his grandfather marked a turning point, igniting a new honesty in his songwriting that earned him Song of the Year at the Detroit Music Awards in 2022. Louie Lee's unique sound, labeled Country Hop & Roll, combines modern 808 basslines with country twang, crafting music that feels both grounded and dynamic. His lyrics delve into rarely explored emotional territories, balancing high-energy anthems with heartfelt ballads. Louie’s live performances forge deep connections with audiences, transforming shows into communal experiences where fans actively participate. As a storyteller, Louie is reshaping country music’s landscape, inviting non-country listeners to the genre while redefining its essence. His journey of creation through truth is just beginning.

Polaris Banks

Polaris Banks loves making movies but has no money or connections. So he foolishly takes on ambitious projects and funds them by selling his body to science and maxing out credit cards. His latest hair-brained scheme "And Her Body Was Never Found" roped in his wife to make a movie with no other crew, just two people in the woods with a camera. Polaris's other bizarrely difficult undertakings include Reklaw, a $200,000 sell-funded short, and Casey Jones, a comic book adaptation featuring a Ninja Turtle.

Mor Cohen and Polaris Banks did the impossible, made a movie with just two people, while camping, with a script based on their real arguments. Most couples would kill each other under those conditions. They were no exception.

As an actor he has appeared in "Blue Ruin", "Green Room", "Logan Lucky", "The Florida Project", "Oppenheimer" and "The Lowdown".

Macon Blair's third feature is a raucous and wildly entertaining descent into madness. Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr. are perfectly (mis)matched as Mark and Davis, the fumbling circumstantial chaperones in charge of transporting the increasingly psychotic Sheridan (a brilliant Mason Thames). Phenomenal supporting turns from Nicholas Braun, Peter Dinklage, and Kiernan Shipka round out the ensemble cast, each more unexpected and bizarre than the last. Blair treats us to his signature absurdist sense of humor and douses it with gasoline and psychedelics, crafting an uncanny world where the worst intentions net the highest yields and the open road is full of Shitheads.

The Shitheads

When two unqualified bozos are hired to transfer a rich teen to rehab, their straightforward gig quickly spirals into dangerous mayhem.

Richard E. Williams by Anita Alice Photography

With an uncompromising sense of urgency, Richard E. Williams has forged a bold path in independent cinema. From his debut "White Blood" to his ambitious POV sophomore feature "Dead Eyes", he pushes cinematic boundaries while championing a distinctly authentic Australian voice.

Sean and his fiancée, Grace, enter a remote forest to find Sean’s missing father, Paul, who vanished after the death of his youngest daughter, Lilly. Returning to the site of Lilly’s death forces Sean to confront his inner demons, which begin to materialize externally. Their search takes a terrifying turn, revealing Paul’s secret. He’s been conducting cloning experiments, aimed at resurrecting Lilly. The forest is now inhabited by cannibalistic mutant girls, each a clone of Lilly, battling to prove their identity as the 'real' Lilly. As Sean and Grace uncover the grim truth, they face terrifying creatures and grapple with unsettling questions about life and death.

Jake Kuhn

Jake Kuhn is a writer, producer, director, and recent alumnus of the National Film and Television School, where he directed the Python-esque medieval farce Hand to God. A manic screenwriter and lover of all cinema — particularly Austin’s very own Slacker whose commentary track sparked his love of film — Jake directed his first feature with Noah Stratton-Twine: The Peril at Pincer Point, an improvised, Corman-inspired crustaceous comedy set to world premiere at SXSW 2026.

Noah Stratton-Twine

Noah Stratton-Twine is a writer, director, editor, and composer whose work blends sharp character-driven storytelling with a resourceful do-it-yourself ethos — ultimately exacted in his debut feature: an improvised Sasquatch tragi-comedy made for a measly £1000. Amidst chronic cinephilia and a love of walking and wasabi nuts, he continues to develop a percolating slate of scripts and movies across a gallimaufry of genres, including The Peril at Pincer Point — a similarly improvised Corman-inspired crustaceous comedy set to world premiere at SXSW 2026.

Jim Baitte, a layabout sound designer desperate to prove himself, is working on a new horror flick from the tyrannical yet lauded b-movie director P.W. Griffin. Accused of lacking vision and creative courage, Jim is sent to the remote island where the film was shot to capture a sound powerful enough to elevate the film's finale. Once there, eerie local fables surface: for years, ambitious and headstrong youth have lost their souls to a ghostly sea captain for his spectral crew. As Jim entangles himself further into the bizarre locals, scenery, and prophecy, he can’t help but ponder the ever-confirming legend, and if recording it might just cost him more than his career.

The Peril at Pincer Point

On a quest to prove his competency, an inept sound recordist finds himself entangled in a nautical prophecy on the spectral island of Pincer Point.

This horror anthology tackles the modern work landscape through four timely perspectives – the hustle culture of an MLM, the endless repetitiveness of a food delivery driver, the online horrors of a content moderator, and the unionization of a familiar-feeling coffee shop. "Grind" shows what it means to be a worker in a world defined by wealth inequality and ruled by endlessly greedy oligarchs, one not so far removed from our own.

This is a film for anyone who's ever hated their job, had a bad boss, or felt taken advantage of at work. In other words, it's a film for all of us.

Grind

Four interconnected tales of workplace horror tackle the most terrifying aspect of modern life: making a living! With a wild tone as darkly comic as it is relevant, 'Grind' is the most fun you'll have in a late stage capitalistic hellscape.
