Lena is a Canadian American writer and director. Her first feature film, THE TIGER HUNTER, recently released in over 60 cities nationwide and garnered effusively positive reviews from The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and more.

With a background from the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television and experience at noted production companies such as Participant Media, Lena spent years directing short films, commercials and music videos before embarking on her first film. Lena and her work have been profiled in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Teen Vogue, USA Today and The New York Times. She was also listed as one of the 25 Screenwriters to watch in MovieMaker magazine.

In the last year, Lena has sold a television show, is overseeing development by a prestigious (and delightfully kooky) writer for a screenplay she will direct, and began production on a comedy for Disney entitled FLORA & ULYSSES.
