actor. writer. director

regan (she/they), a bicoastal actor, writer, and director, recently graduated from Stanford where they studied culture, theatre, and film. through her absurdist, intimate, witty work, they explore young women’s processes of finding themselves, particularly through experiences with artistry, forms of love, gendered expression of emotion, and questioning societal norms.

‘Pink and Tinged with Lavender’, lavin’s 2022 short film, has been featured at multiple film festivals this year, including Queer Global Arts Fest, where it won Best of the Fest, and Cannes Short Film Festival. another short of hers, ‘Boys Will Be Boys’, debuted to a sold-out screening. their more recent work-in-progress pilot, ‘did you have a plan?’ was selected as a Quarter-Finalist with Filmmatic TV Pilot Awards.

having just finished assistant directing a successful run of Minh-Anh Day’s ‘Thirteenth Night’, with New York Theater Festival, lavin has just made the move from NY to LA where she works in TV lit at UTA.

throughout her education, regan’s passion for storytelling has enabled her to work with Young Jean Lee, Cheo Hodari Coker, Michael Rau, Dominique Serrand, Erika Chong-Shuch, and Stanford Repertory Theater. earlier in their career, regan has interned with Second Stage Theater, ACE Entertainment, and Davis Shakespeare Festival. during their time at Stanford, regan executive produced Ram’s Head Theatrical Society and acted as president of Stanford Students in Entertainment.

when she’s not creating art, you can find regan thrifting, reading, and playing with fire.
