about

Lena is a writer and director. Her first feature film, THE TIGER HUNTER, released in over 70 cities nationwide and garnered effusively positive reviews. Fresh off of its release, Disney tapped Lena to direct FLORA AND ULYSSES, a live action family comedy 40 times the budget of her first film, that released this year and was among the top streamed movies in the world for multiple weeks. In the past two years, Lena has sold two shows and has received an Emmy nomination for her work in television directing, working on shows ranging from multiple episodes of “Never Have I Ever” to “The Mysterious Benedict Society.” Having shown she can command a large budget, crew, complicated VFX and a compelling story, Lena has recently come on board three exciting projects, the first of which is set to film later this year. Lena is also producing a show at Disney+ and recently executive produced the Academy Award nominee documentary short, "Stranger at the Gate," alongside Malala.
