about

If you’re like me, your name is Lori Chandler, and you are a writer/filmmaker. And if you are me, well, you have a little production company you like to call Dinosaurs v. Robots Films LLC. Now that we’ve settled that, here’s the skinny on me in the professional sense:


For the screen, I wrote and directed the comedy short The Society for Paranormal Healing, which won Best Picture at the Austin Comedy Film Festival, won Best Long-form Short Film at the Los Angeles Comedy Film and Screenplay Festival, and was an Official Selection at NY Shorts and FilmHaus. It premiered at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective and had its West Coast premiere at the Pack Theater. The script was a quarter-finalist in the Screencraft Film Fund, a top 10 on Coverfly’s Redlist.


My experimental short, brain medicine, is in “submitting to festivals” mode.


I wrote a pilot called Adult Baby Genius, which is in “submitting to labs” mode.


On the stage, I wrote + directed the shows I Just Have a Lot of Feelings (Pack Theater) Britney and Kevin Go Back to the Future (Annoyance Theater NY) What Becomes a Legend Most? (Annoyance Theater NY) and Ironoclast (The Queens Secret Theater). I also wrote for The New York Times, Big Think, and CollegeHumor, I suppose because I am very fancy.
