LAIN EWING

Lain Ewing is a director who explores human connection through dark optimism, comedy, and redemption. She got her start at a movie studio in the Philippines and has since carved out a path as a filmmaker.

Her previous comedy short, Red Flags, screened at the same festival in 2023. Lain’s work has earned praise and awards, including Best Director at Marriott’s 2019 CRN 48-Hour Film Challenge and Best Female Filmmaker at the Austin International Art Festival. She’s also directed branded content for the YMCA, Yelp, and Anthem.

Lain spent six years assisting director Kevin Bray (Succession, Insecure, Suits), supporting him on four pilots and more than eighteen episodes, while also helping manage his overall deal with F.X. She’s an active member of Women in Film, is mentored by Logan Kibens, and regularly volunteers with Home-y Made Meals.
