Laurel Almerinda

Laurel started off on the right foot, attending Catholic school and confessing her sins once a week. She continued to flower at Tufts University, earning a BA in Art History and Archaeology, receiving numerous awards for her scholarship and a grant to take part in an archaeological expedition to Masada, Israel. Then things went horribly wrong: she immersed herself in dance choreography and became the artistic director of a small dance company that shamelessly performed varying states of undress throughout New England. Laurel continued her fall from grace by moving to Los Angeles to pursue a Master of Fine Arts in Film Production at the University of Southern California. Although she finished at the top of her class and was awarded the Samuel and Lorenza Gary Grant on the basis of her thesis script, she insists on making films with titles such as “firepussy.” Today she is an outspoken original and risk-taking young artist, both an obsessive Martha Stewart devotee and biker chick, and independent filmmaker and music video director.
