LAUREN TUTTMAN, EP
In 2018, Lauren Tuttman co-founded HunterPark Productions with Executive Producer Bethanie Schwartz. But Lauren was quite literally born into the production and ad industry. Her father directed commercials and short films, and her mother spent the better part of the 80s working as a costume stylist on some of the most famous ads of all time. Mean Joe Green, James Earl Jones, Julie Andrews, Aretha Franklin? Yep. Lauren’s mom dressed them all. Lauren once got a call from James Earl Jones, singing her happy birthday in his billowing Darth Vader voice. Just imagine that?
As soon as Lauren was old enough to work, she was hustling on sets. Whether it was assisting as a stylist, runner, producer or doing whatever else was needed, Lauren couldn’t get enough of the world of production. After college, Lauren took a full time position at P.S.260, on the post side of commercial advertising. In just a short time, Lauren learned the ins and outs of the editing and finishing process, and was able to touch such legendary projects as Adidas “Unstoppable”.
By 2006, Lauren was itching to be back on set closer to her roots. She accepted a full-time position as an agency producer at Grey NY. There, she spent the next 10 years crafting award-winning campaigns for premiere brands such as Canon and Volvo. Lauren’s production skills touched nearly every account - Pantene, Clarol, Covergirl, Rutherford Hill, Smuckers, Downy, Dairy Queen , Canon and Volvo, to name just a few.
Working on Canon’s Project Imagination, Lauren finally met her current producing partner, Bethanie Schwartz. Together, they broke down barriers between their respective departments, and created high-end in-house production capabilities for the agency and its brands.
In 2016, Lauren left Grey to freelance and focus on projects of interest. Most recently in 2018, Lauren produced a new content contest for LG and Netflix. This complex integrated project showcased Lauren’s best talents, and her ability to deliver premium content and creative assets efficiently across different marketing and social media platforms.
Lauren and Bethanie bring both deep knowledge and a fresh, forward-thinking approach to production. HunterPark Productions was formed to deliver a more streamlined process, without the high mark ups or cookie-cutter approaches of other production companies. Hunter Park’s passion for finding a solution for every budget is what makes them unique in their field. Just ask Lauren and she’ll tell you,“The quality of work doesn’t need to suffer even if the budgets are tight. It’s all about finding the most efficient way to approach the project.”
