ECEM LAWTON
Founder, Director, Producer
(pronounced A Gem)
An award-winning, powerhouse creative, Ecem Lawton represents a new-generation jack-of-all-trades artist. Having double-majored in Film & Media studies and Psychology at Columbia University and received a master’s in Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s Institute of Art London, Ecem developed a powerful and unique perspective in her vision as a director. She is able to capture the true essence of her subjects and turn them into a product that reveals their wildest, fullest potential, giving them the guidance and tools they need in order to actualize their dreams.
Her vision as a filmmaker is marked by underlying art-historical, philosophical, literary and mythological references. She makes ample use of subliminally placed motifs, lights that might be described as “gallery psychedelica,” daring camera movements, and iconic dance choreographies that create meaning through movement. Ecem creates unique, timeless art pieces that are powerful enough to precipitate a sea-change in the culture.
