Director Lauren Meyering brings her debut film “Horsegirls” to the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival. Co-written with her best friend Mackenzie Breeden, it explores the unique world of hobbyhorsing as a backdrop to an autistic daughter (Lillian Carrier) who must grapple with her mother's (Gretchen Mol) illness while discovering her own independence.
Lauren discusses casting and directing Lillian, who is autistic and riding along with the U.S. hobby horsing committee which gave her invaluable advice.
