Turen was close to brothers Sam and Ashley Levinson, with whom he founded Little Lamb Productions, responsible for the hit ‘Euphoria’, which won nine Emmy Awards. Although ‘The Idol’, starring rapper The Weeknd, did not achieve the same success and faced adverse reviews, it also generated commotion.
While his films were predominantly in the horror genre, Turen’s television productions were characterized by youthful protagonism and impactful scenes involving sex and drugs.
