Once upon a time became forever…
We can’t wait to celebrate our happily ever after with you.
Lauren’s Story
Lauren’s story begins in South Jamaica, Queens, where her hustle and way with words were built. A proud alum of THEE University by the Sea - Savannah State University, she took her creative spark from the low country coast to the heart of Atlanta, spending seven years mastering the art of connection as a social media and brand strategist.
For the past 11 years, Lauren has called Los Angeles home, still finding the funny in everything and turning everyday moments into stories worth sharing.
Brian’s Story
Brian’s story begins in Philadelphia, where a North Philly boy through and through learned early that every moment had a lesson, and a soundtrack. After heading south to attend Bethune-Cookman and eventually Clark Atlanta University, he majored in film and history, setting the stage for a future behind the camera and a lifelong love of storytelling.
Eight years in Atlanta gave him direction; NYC gave him the lens. Now in Los Angeles as a director and producer, Brian’s known for his creative eye and his uncanny ability to drop random historical facts about… well, just about anything.

Every love story has a beginning — theirs just happened to start in a bar.
Picture it… Atlanta…2013 (Sophia Petrillo’s voice)
A North Philly boy crossed paths with a quick-witted Queens girl who wasn’t afraid to make the first move.
That chance meeting (RIP Peters Street) sparked a connection built on laughter, long conversations, and a shared love of storytelling.
From Atlanta nights to cross-country flights, Brian and Lauren have written chapters full of adventure, growth, and inside jokes no one else will ever understand.
The scene is set, the cast is confirmed, and the countdown to A Sanders Story has officially begun. The premiere location will be revealed after RSVPs close — but you can expect an unforgettable celebration filled with laughter, music, and moments worthy of the big screen. Come ready to toast, dance, and enjoy the feature presentation of A Sanders Story. 🎬
