Meet a filmmaker who has received the most impressive title of “alien of extraordinary ability” by U.S. Immigration. She is still working on being recognized as a human, though. Lorena Lourenço is an award-winning director, writer, and producer from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and a USC School of Cinematic Arts alum. She's passionate about telling stories from marginalized perspectives that highlight cultural identity, the immigrant experience, and female strength (though she barely works out). Her shorts have been screened and awarded at festivals internationally, including Outfest, Inside Out, LALIFF, and the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival. She has directed and produced for Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars), renowned jazz performer Kamasi Washington, Emily Osment (Hannah Montana), Ivy George (Big Little Lies), and Salina EsTitties (who should win RuPaul’s Drag Race). Lorena has also worked in production for Tribeca and Sundance nominated documentaries as well as in television for Netflix, HBO, The CW, and many others. If you think any of the above information helps her claim to a status of humanity please notify U.S. immigration’s human branch.
