Born in Miami and raised along the American East Coast, from New York to Boston to Vermont, Ian Lauria-Post is a film director whose restless geography shaped everything. He moved west to California and Washington State, chasing bigger surroundings, spending years directing commercial work and branded features deep inside action sports subcultures before setting out on a new chapter by the shores of Lago di Lugano, where Switzerland meets Italy.

He has worked across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Some days are embedded in the mountains of Japan or the Alps, others in a studio or on set in Switzerland. His eye for storytelling is drawn to subcultures and the people who define them, to raw, organic moments within fashion, sport, and culture. A love for filmmaking that refuses to stay in one lane.

His work spans film production, creative direction, and brand strategy, from campaign development and hero brand films to full content ecosystems built around a single production. Past collaborators have included Dior, The North Face, JW Anderson, 1 Hotels, Burton, Red Bull, Nespresso, Jimmy Fallon, BOSS, Carhartt, Beaches, Sandals, Seymour Duncan, Aspen, Olivia Palermo, Outside, Bhakta, and NBC, among others.
