There are three sides to every story: side A, side B,

and the truth

somewhere in the middle.

A Gentle Edge

Hey people! I’m Laura - A Canadian-based filmmaker, actor and audiobook narrator, creating mainly from my home studio. I am a member of IATSE 212 in the Grip, High Rigger, Ground Rigger, and General Stage departments.

Some of my credits include:​ The Abandons (Netflix) - Grip; Reminders of Him (Universal) - Grip Trainee; My Life with the Walter Boys (Netflix) - Grip

Concerts: Bruce Springsteen, Jelly Roll, Deftones, Kieth Urban, Halestorm

Audiobooks: ​The Fallen Series by Ann Bakshis; The Wedding by Sian Ceinwen; Unveiled Attraction by Chelsea M. Cameron

Please see my resume for my full list of experience (to be uploaded soon).

In addition to working in union productions, I am working on several creative projects in which I use this platform to share. Writing, music, and personal indie films are my main focus.

Nature has always been a key interest point for me, and I am compelled to tell stories that reflect the grey area found between different points of view. Evoking the imagination and allowing us to find layers of truth within. My work tends to be dark and edgy, but it is also flooded with light. Shadows are fascinating, and shadows cannot exist without light.

Thank you for taking the time to scope me out. If you have an interest in working together, please feel free to contact me.
