Modern Post Promotes Lauren Friedman to Editor

Creative post production studio Modern Post has promoted Lauren Friedman to editor, recognising her talent for shaping distinct visual stories across music videos, fashion films, and commercials.

A graduate of NYU’s Film and Television program (2017), Lauren joined Modern Post in 2019 as an assistant editor, drawn to the studio for the excellence of its work. Since then, she has quickly distinguished herself, contributing edits defined by sharp timing, emotional pacing, and a balance of playfulness and sophistication.

Lauren’s credits include Gigi Hadid’s 'Can’t Stop the Beat' for Vogue (featuring Laverne Cox, Cole Escola, Marc Jacobs, and Alton Mason), Bad Gyal’s 'Da Me,' and the NOWNESS short 'In Cairo', spotlighting young female skaters, drifters, and motorbike riders who break social norms, as well as Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping music video 'Please Please Please' (co-edited with William Town),

Among her body of work, Lauren points to 'Please Please Please' as a personal favourite, citing the thrill of co-editing such a high-profile project while pushing herself to refine rhythm and emotion at every beat.

“I was originally drawn to Modern Post because of the calibre and style of the work - these were the projects that I dreamed of working on,” says Lauren. “What’s kept me here are the people. There’s such a strong sense of passion and dedication to the craft, and everyone’s commitment to excellence is motivating every day.”

Founder William Town adds, “Lauren has undeniable instincts for rhythm and emotion, paired with an innate curiosity that keeps her growing from strength to strength. Her work is a genuine expression of that character; she’s a trusted and engaged collaborator, who is not afraid to make her mark, while graciously respecting the stakeholders in the creative process.”

Looking ahead, Lauren shares, “I’m excited to take on bigger creative challenges and bring more of my own voice into projects I’m passionate about. Stepping into this role really feels like a dream.”
