LAUREN BELL
(She, Her)
Film and Television production
Emerging producer and experienced production manager with a hands-on, collaborative approach, passionate about stories that amplify diverse voices. Originally from Montreal, she works fluently in both French and English and has experience across features, TV movies, series, and documentaries, with recent credits including Hotel Beirut (2024) and the youth documentary series KAPSUR (2025). After beginning her creative path in fine arts at NSCAD University in Halifax, she transitioned into film, starting as a production assistant in Dawson City, Yukon, and going on to work on productions across Canada—from Nunavut to Ontario. Her goal is to produce story-driven feature films that resonate with audiences and leave a lasting impact.
The kavalo Q&A:
Q: Coffee, tea, or “just give me water and 5 minutes”?
A: Coffee - all day, everyday. I make myself a latte every morning - I love the ritual of making it. When I’m on set, I love it to keep me going over the long hours.
Q: Your hidden talent (or something completely useless, but you’re secretly proud of)?
A: I’m pretty good at the game “how many jelly beans are in the jar”. I’ve won this game a few times, all you get is a jar of jelly beans and bragging rights!
Q: Ultra-structured plan or last-minute magic?
A: I love planning ahead and having everything ready to go, but there is something exhilarating about solving a problem that comes up last minute that’s hard to beat.
