As a lifelong theatre lover, Laurie Brand spent many years writing and directing children’s theatre. At the age of 16, she was already President of her first non-profit theatre company. With a degree from the Professional Theatre Training Program at the University of Wisconsin, opportunities brought her to Richmond, Virginia to work as a Stage Manager.
She has published several award winning stories on various fan fiction websites and when a friend asked her if she had ever written a screenplay, she jumped at the opportunity to learn more.
Since joining the Virginia Screenwriters’ Forum in 2013, she has completed two screenplays and has several more in the works that she plans to submit to several festivals in the near future. Laurie manages the Facebook page and the VSF Actor’s Forum for the group.
