Hi, I’m Lawrence Ojugbeli.

I’m an award-winning filmmaker and media production specialist with deep expertise across both production and post-production. While my roles often include Director, Director of Photography, Editor, and/or Creative Director, my value extends far beyond titles. I bring a complete, end-to-end understanding of how ideas become impactful work. In an industry where these labels are frequently diluted, I take pride in the fact that my skill set, portfolio, clientele, and industry recognition consistently demonstrate mastery at the highest level.

Clients work with me because I see the full picture. I combine creative vision with technical precision and strategic thinking, allowing projects to move efficiently from concept through delivery without losing clarity or intention. Whether I’m leading a production, collaborating with a larger team, or stepping into a specific role, my focus is always on delivering polished, purposeful, and effective work.

I bring a unique blend of cultural expression and brand collaboration to every partnership. With proven experience crafting compelling Black stories, leading production teams, and creating high-impact, viral branded content, I help brands and individuals show up authentically, stay culturally relevant, and create content that resonates (and performs) in today’s digital landscape.

LMN Creative Studios (2021-2024)

I am the Co-Founder of LMN Creative Studios, a Black-owned Los Angeles production company that operated from 2021 to 2024. At LMN, I served as CEO, Head of Production, and Creative Director, leading all projects end-to-end from conceptualization through final delivery. I pitched, won, and executed high-profile creative work against world-class competition, directing top-tier talent and managing multidisciplinary teams to ensure seamless alignment between strategy, creative vision, and brand objectives. Working with cinema-grade equipment including ARRI, RED, and Sony systems, I defined the visual aesthetics of projects and coordinated camera, lighting, and production crews to achieve ambitious creative goals, while also overseeing post-production workflows and personally editing for major clients.

During our time in operation, LMN produced content across formats including branded campaigns, documentaries, music videos, live events and livestreams, web series, and narrative projects, and contributed to substantial digital growth for our partners. Our work generated over 6.5 million YouTube views, launched original series for notable brands such as Wondery Media x Amazon and Liquid IV, and delivered multiple viral social pieces exceeding one million views each. I helped grow the LMN Instagram page to 44K followers and drove platform-specific performance of 16.9+ million views on @lmn.cs alone, establishing the company as a trusted creative resource recognized for excellence, reliability, and audience-first storytelling.
