Born and raised in the small town of Mount Airy (or as Andy Griffith fans refer to it, Mayberry), North Carolina, Lauren "L.C." Henderson discovered her love of art at a young age -- even though her mother would disagree due to how long it took L.C. to learn her colors. L.C. tumbled into film school in 2014 after she realized her career as a musician wasn't going to work out, and there, she discovered her passion for film producing, writing, and directing.
In 2016, L.C. produced the short film BLACKHEAD, her first project as a Producer. From there, she produced the short TETHERED, which won the Long Leaf Film Festival Judges’ Choice Award for Narrative Film in Raleigh, NC. After graduating from film school, she produced the feature film DUKELAND, which is now available via Vimeo and your local Pirate Bay.
In 2021, L.C. made her directorial debut with the short film THE FOUR DANIELS. Her style focuses on stories of queer love, often turning the expectations of typical rom-coms for marginalized groups that have not had a chance to shine on screen. This style continued to the short film I REALLY WISH MERCURY WASN'T IN RETROGRADE RIGHT NOW, which lives as part of the exhibit at Meow Wolf in Grapevine, TX.

L.C. worked as a Post-Production Supervisor at bmpcreative on editorial pieces for Netflix, including the Emmy-winning BEHIND THE FX. Now, she works there as an Editor and Creative Superstar, finding innovative solutions for storytelling and creating weird internet videos for Netflix’s social channels.
In her free time, L.C. enjoys creating collages, working on her debut feature film, and hanging out with her satanic dog, Budweiser "Buddy" Ricky Bobby Henderson.
