Lauren Fritz is a writer/director based in New York who has taught filmmaking at Tisch since 2014.

Currently, she is working on her first novel, Utopia Parkway, a time-traveling, coming-of-age story that follows queer best friends Kit, Cassie, and Ava throughout the decade of the 1990s as they try to navigate love, loss and vampires in a surreal end-of-millennium America.
