Carl Bird McLaughlin grew up in Santa Clarita, California. With his parents being actors, he immediately answered a calling to perform, involving himself in school plays, and making short movies with his mother's camcorder. He began to study film directing at College of the Canyons where he received "Filmmaker of the Year" two years in a row. He later attended CalArts for his undergraduate degree in Film/Video. His films frequently navigate themes of family, mental illness, and spirituality.
