Laura O'Connell / Writer!
My name's Laura O'Connell. I grew up in Dublin, Ireland and have been in Vancouver for five months. After studying a diploma in film and television production, I took the year out to write and gather some more experience in the film industry. After doing a small amount of work for various companies in Dublin, I decided to set my sights on higher ground and came here. I have been spending my time here getting to know the city and have been involved in a few film/writing projects...this being one of them. I have decided to focus my career on writitng alone but haven't yet completely ruled out any other work.

So there you have it, I turn twent-two next week (March) so I'm not in a huge hurry to be a major screen-writer any time soon.
