In 2018, Lorna's first feature doc WESTWOOD: PUNK, ICON, ACTIVIST debuted at Sundance; the film was chosen for competition and Lorna was named by Harpers Bizarre and Elle Magazine as one of the biggest breakout female film makers of the year.

Her second feature documentary, AMÁ, is a powerful film about the sterilisation abuse of Native American women across the United States over the past 60 years. Lorna worked closely with survivors and campaigners to share their stories and, upon it's release, AMÁ created a social movement throughout North America; Amnesty International wrote 'this film shines a light on a devastating Human Rights issue' and that 'every American should see this movie'. Lorna was named as one of Creative England's CE50 for 2019.

In 2023, Lorna completed two feature documentaries; SOMEONE'S DAUGHTER, SOMEONE'S SON for Dartmouth Films and CALL ME KATE, a doc-drama about Katharine Hepburn for Salon Pictures, Netflix & Sky. Both had phenomenal theatrical releases, with SDSS ending up selling out screenings and having its run in cinemas extended for 9 weeks.

In September 2024 Lorna worked alongside Social activist and artist Steve Tovey, The Royal Foundation and The Saatchi Gallery to bring together the UK's most exciting artists to create Homewards, a successful exhibition that saw over 35,000 people come to view.

Her latest film, GARBO: Where did you go? Will be hitting the festival circuit in late 2024, before its global theatrical release in spring 2025.

Having secured her place as one of the most exciting young documentary directors working today, Lorna is now developing several narrative feature projects. First out the gate will be her original screenplay BARE, produced by Marie-Elena Dyche (Blue Jean, How To Have Sex, Harvest) and Standalone Pictures. The film was developed with support from the BFI.

Lorna has also written a fearless memoir of this time which will be published by Brazen in the spring of 2025.
