Lauren Fisher is a three-time Emmy-winning director and Executive Creative Director specializing in sports documentaries, animation, and branded storytelling. Based in Los Angeles, she directs and leads creative at Religion of Sports, where she pairs vérité filmmaking with a background in motion design and animation — bold, emotionally driven storytelling that elevates athletes' lives beyond the arena.
Fisher co-directed In The Arena: Serena Williams (ESPN), Believers: Boston Red Sox (ESPN) with Gotham Chopra, and served as Director of Animation on the Emmy-winning Greatness Code (Apple TV+). Her recent work includes The Fastest Six Weeks in Sports (Roku, 2025), a docuseries starring Kelsey Plum, Georgia Amoore, and Sania Feagin that follows WNBA veterans and rookies through the chaotic transition from college to the pros, and Miles That Matter (Paramount+, 2026), a GEICO-produced series following Azzi Fudd, Trey McKenney, and Napheesa Collier back to the people and places that shaped them.
With a background in motion design, Fisher brings 3D animation and emerging technology into her documentary work, and has directed brand campaigns for Nike, GMC, and Uncrustables. Her perspective is shaped by a career spent elevating voices, particularly women's sports stories, that mainstream sports media has historically underserved.
