As an award-winning creative producer, Laura drives content from conception through completion. She architects complex projects, bridging logistics and cinematic vision to lead productions that achieve their highest potential.

Laura co-founded Shooting Films, a New York–based independent film production company, which has made Active Measures (an iTunes #1 documentary and #5 top movie, screened by the European Parliament and taught at Yale) and the award-winning films The Living, And After All, Time and Public Speaking. Since starting the company in 2012, Laura has actively freelanced on films, commercials, and new media as a producer, line producer, director and assistant director. She is also the head of production for Wild / Factory, a creative content agency and commercial production company. Collectively, the projects have garnered hundreds of millions of views online alone; the commercials are among the most successful for major brands, and the films have won several awards in addition to playing in 30+ festivals.

Previously, Laura was the director of business development and production for a privately-held independent film and commercial production company based in Tribeca. She dove into the film industry after graduating from the Film Track program at The Lee Strasberg Institute in New York. Outside of school, she worked with Project Welles on the development and marketing for Orson Welles’ unfinished film, The Other Side of the Wind. Beforehand, Laura was an executive assistant at Goldman Sachs in the merchant banking division. She earned her bachelor’s degree with concentrations in psychology and sociology from the University of Connecticut, where she produced and co-hosted a live TV show on the campus station.
