Writer and directorLauren Sick has signed with RESET for commercial representation.
Passionate about film from a young age, Sick brings a youthful and adventurous expression to her filmmaking, coupling raw emotion with a nuanced and distinctive cinematic style.
Sick grew up in the dark woods of suburbia screening inappropriate horror movies at slumber parties, an origin story that echoes in her diverse body of work. Her narrative psychological horror film Pare screened at the Oscars + BAFTA Qualifying Rhode Island International Film Festival and has been released as a Fangoria exclusive with distribution through ALTER and Gunpowder & Sky. She also recently directed the pilot for the narrative podcast, Rich Girl, from the creators of Pretty Little Liars and will make her debut directing two episodes of television this fall on a series produced by Eli Roth.
Sick’s cinematic sensibility and deft direction of performance can also be seen throughout her commercial work, for brands including GAP, New Balance, Michelob, Trident, Xfinity, Beats by Dre, and Ford. Her Ford spot Scary Fast, inspired by classic horror themes, can be seen nationwide playing before Jordan Peele’s film Nope. This diverse body of work across film and advertising has been recognised by numerous publications including Indiewire, BBC, The New York Times, Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Deadline, Rolling Stone, Clio, AdAge, shots, The Drum, and AdWeek.
Dave Morrison, Managing Director, Co-Founder, and Owner at RESET says of Sick: “Lauren's work struck us all as both singular, versatile, and highly cinematic, which felt like a good mix with the other curated directors at RESET. We are looking forward to helping Lauren continue reaching a bigger audience through the large platform of resources here at RESET and are excited to get started.”
“When meeting with Dave, Michael, Jen, and the whole sales team, I was immediately struck by their creative vision and passionate dedication to making lasting, exceptional work,” says Sick.
“Their commitment to investing in the development of emerging voices across both commercials and film & television is evident in the legacy they’ve established over the past decade. To be a part of that story, and to be directing alongside industry titans and some of my own personal heroes, is a true honour.”
