Lauren Wissot holds a B.F.A. in Acting from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts where she studied at the Lee Strasberg Institute. After years performing with the legendary Living Theatre and lip-synching with the drag queens and gender benders as "Lauren Vile," she gave up the spotlight to become a writer and filmmaker.

A freelance film critic with a weekly “sex in cinema” column at SpoutBlog, Lauren is also an award-winning director and grant-recipient whose short films have screened in festivals across North America. Currently, she is bent on bringing an S&M flavor to the big screen with her scripts "Obeying Lola," a dyke dominatrix coming-of-age comedy, and the psychosexual trilogy "The Slave, The Shrink and The Stripper." "Under My Master's Wings," a memoir about her time spent as the personal slave to a gay-for-pay stripper, is available from Random House sub-imprint Nexus Books.
