Paulina Lagudi Ulrich

Paulina Lagudi Ulrich, born March 1992 in Sydney—yeah, way down under—didn’t exactly stick around to become a beach bum. She’s been making waves in the director and producer scene, which, let’s be real, isn’t easy to pull off unless you’ve got some real grit. You might have caught her name in the credits for “Mail Order Monster” (2018), a quirky, heartfelt film that somehow mashes up coming-of-age drama with the kind of sci-fi whimsy that takes you right back to after-school movie marathons. Before that, she worked on “Holly’s Girl” and “This Is How” (both from 2016), proving she isn’t some one-hit wonder. Her work tends to have this real, relatable edge—nothing feels too polished or fake. There’s a vibe of honesty, like she pulls from life, not just what looks good on a script. And honestly? That’s rare. Outside the whole film hustle, Paulina’s life seems pretty grounded. She married Cooper Ulrich on the first of September, 2019. Yeah, that’s the kind of detail you remember if you actually care, and judging from the way she talks about family, she definitely does. They’ve got two kids—so she’s balancing the whole creative chaos with school runs and probably a fair amount of spilled juice. Bottom line: Paulina Lagudi Ulrich isn’t just another name in the credits. She’s doing her own thing, making movies with heart, and somehow juggling the madness of family life, too. If you’re looking for someone whose work actually means something, she’s one to watch.
