Congratulations Dr. Shapiro!

Dr. Lauren Shapiro, a professor in the Wright Institute's Clinical Psychology program from 2014-2021, wrote a screenplay called "Still Life" that is premiering at the San Francisco Independent Film Festival on February 7th.

The movie, which is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story based on Dr. Shapiro's own experience of losing her mother to leukemia as a teenager, was filmed in the East Bay and stars local actors. Dr. Shapiro left her position at the Wright Institute to pursue the dream of creating this film and we congratulate her on her success!
