Lauren Greenfield

For 25 years, Emmy Award-winning photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield has traveled the world, documenting the excesses of wealth and celebrity that have come to define our culture. Named by the New York Times as “America’s foremost visual chronicler of the plutocracy,” Greenfield has produced groundbreaking work on consumerism, youth culture, and gender, provoking international dialogue about some of the most important issues of our time. The Queen of Versailles was the opening night film of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Best Documentary Director Award and was named by Vogue as one of the top documentaries of all time. Her record-breaking, Super Bowl ad #LikeAGirl (250+ million views) earned her 14 Cannes Lions and the Most Awarded Director by Ad Age, making her the first woman to top this list.
