Sound designer for the feature film "Praying the Hours," in preproduction with film companies Boulevard Pictures and Burning Heart, Loren A. Roberts has a history with director Lauralee Farrer. Roberts' collaboration with Burning Heart includes the recent award-winning documentary, "Laundry and Tosca" (2004-5) for which he served as sound and film editor.
The most progressive kind of independent filmmaker, Roberts has mastered many of the creative elements of filmmaking as cameraman, sound designer, editor, and graphic designer. His filmmaking has taken him most recently throughout Asia — in Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Japan — for international clients.
Roberts owns Hearken Creative Services (HCS), a multi-disciplinary creative firm. Under the aegis of HCS since 1993, Roberts has partnered with clients such as USC, Fuller Theological Seminary, World Vision, and museums and botanical gardens in the Greater Los Angeles area, bringing a classic aesthetic to film, print, online, and multimedia advertising.
Roberts graduated from Occidental College with a degree in Religious Studies, is a professional studio musician (keyboards), and has produced and engineered several folk/rock albums.
