Originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, Laura Young attended Weber State University where she received a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and Chemistry. After earning a private pilots license and several licenses in securities trading, she excelled as a stockbroker for a number of years before starting on a new and exciting path in film. In 2007, Laura began pursuing her dream of being a film producer and in 2009, released her first short film, Unpleasantville, which made its debut at several film festivals across the country, including, The Gig Harbor film festival in Washington and the prestigious Chicago Children's International Film Festival. Laura has since produced the acclaimed short films, Dead Celebrities Society, and 4. She then produced a Reebok promotional advertisement and most recently completed the teaser trailers, Monstrosity and Gloom, which is currently in pre-production as a full-length feature film. With a strong background in music retail management, Laura developed an advanced understanding of the industry and honed her superb management skills as owner and operator of a retail outlet at the Rocky Mountain Raceway in West Valley, Utah. This was an experience that also expanded her talents in graphic design. Laura then established her film production company where she developed two websites, one of which has been featured in multiple media articles where a favorable review was printed in the renowned international news outlet, The Guardian. While traveling many areas of Europe, Asia and the Americas with her father, who is a producer on The Swan Princess film series, Laura has become highly knowledgeable in film licensing and distribution. She now acts as associate producer for The Swan Princess series as well as music manager and director of product licensing. In 2011, Laura moved to Los Angeles, California to further advance her career in the film industry. She is currently developing an adaptation of her sister's story of survival in the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting.
