Laura Jansen(III)
- Cineasta
- Departamento Eletrico e Fotografia
Laura was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in a small suburban town 25 miles south of the city. Much of her free time as an only-child was spent either in front of a television screen or in a movie theater. It was there that she fell in love with film's ability to completely immerse her in the narrative and take her to a different place entirely.
She has lensed six feature films, including Lifetime Movie Network's Doctor Death and many shorts, including the 2019 SXSW Jury Award Winner, Other Side of the Box. Her breadth of work ranges from dark and gritty thrillers to crisp and polished commercials to cinematic documentaries.
Laura is particularly drawn to narrative work that deals with emotional struggle and explores the complexity of the human psyche. She believes that no story is complete without carefully thought-out visuals that elevate the actors' performances and connect the audience to the characters' emotion.
She strongly believes her job as cinematographer is not only to create beautiful images, but to initiate a feeling from the audience because of the visual imagery. She enjoys technical problem-solving in order to achieve the director's vision and will always work towards what is best for the story.
She is an alumna of Loyola Marymount University's School of Film & Television and resides in Los Angeles, CA. She is available to travel and owns an ARRI Alexa camera package. She looks to be a part of projects that seek to accomplish an elevated visual style.
