There are as many ways to fund a feature film as there are filmmakers. This week we’re going to take a look at how Writer and Director Lauren Musgrove put together the backing she needed to make her directorial debut with “Ugly Sweater.” She’s fresh off the film festival circuit where they racked up eight film festival laurels along with three wins, a major feat for any feature. Now that she’s got this first feature under her belt, we’ve got a million questions, and Lauren is gracious enough to share her experiences with us.
Lauren is an eight-time Southeast Emmy Award-winning filmmaker. She serves as an Assistant Professor of Film and Television Production at the University of Georgia, and as a Board Member of the Athens Film Festival. Her feature directorial debut about teenage anxiety and imagination, Ugly Sweater, world-premiered at the Boston International Film Festival in 2024. She Co-Directed the Facebook-viral documentary series “People of Alabama,” and Produced a Southern slasher feature set in 1979: The Third Saturday in October, which is currently streaming on Shudder. Lauren is renowned for her keen storytelling abilities, commitment to ethical production practices, and proven success in audience engagement across various platforms.
