The producer joins Rosemary Blight, Ben Grant, Kylie du Fresne and Cass O'Connor at the company, which is currently producing musical feature The Sapphires.
Edwards, who is also an associate producer on The Sapphires, has previously produced Nash Edgerton and David Michód's short film Bear, which was selected in competition at the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival.

"In Lauren we see an exceptional talent and we believe she will have a stellar career as a producer," Blight in a statement. "We are delighted that she has joined the Goalpost team and very much look forward to working alongside her as her first feature film as producer, Mixtape, becomes a reality.”
