Lawrence Lamont

Raised in Detroit, Michigan, Lawrence Lamont is a screenwriter and director interlacing narratives with a warm essence of light and transcendence through a compassionate lens. Lamont's cinematic and majestic approach to storytelling takes place in the sphere of commercials, music videos, tv, and film. His body of work explores the nuances in social dynamics with a desire to illuminate, empower, and raise the vibration of positivity and love. Inspired at an early age, Lamont's affinity for world-building began in his aunt's home in Detroit. Her basement was filled with VHS tapes with blank covers and hand-written titles. Because his aunt would sometimes record multiple films on the same tape, many endings were cut off, leaving Lamont free range to imagine his own endings. He later discovered that he was creating new endings for classics which led him to his influences such as Spike Lee, John Singleton, Ingmar Bergman, and Spike Jonze. To date, Lawrence Lamont has directed artists including J. Cole, Big Sean, Kanye West, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Jhene Aiko, Nas, and Snoop Dogg. He is managed by ColorCreative and sits on the board of the Michigan Film Industry Association with an aim to build an innovative and sustainable industry.
