Laura G. Chirinos was born in Ventura County, just north of Los Angeles up the legendary Route 101, to Steven and Debra Greenwood, a lawyer and fitness instructor. Trips to Warner Brothers and Paramount at a young age instilled in her imagination the magical quality of movie making and as a naturally outgoing and talkative kid, Laura wrote short stories, skits she performed with her best friend and neighbor in front of the family's massive VHS camcorder, and acted in school plays 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' and 'Julius Caesar'. She took on more creative endeavors in high school as a photographer and staff writer for the school paper, arts editor of the annual art and literary magazine 'Aspects' and soloist in many choral and theatrical performances.In 2001, Laura graduated from Viewpoint High School in Calabasas and made her way up to the University of California at Santa Cruz, enrolled in the BA program of Fine Arts and living on the Performing Arts hall at Porter College. Midway through her first year, she switched to a Modern Literature and Creative Writing major, returning to her roots as an avid reader and storyteller. The intensely creative and engaging atmosphere at UCSC was a growth tonic for Laura: she performed in the Queer Fashion Show (QFS) four years running, directing dance and vocal pieces in '03 and '04 in support of the LGBT community, joined a hip-hop dance group, and co-founded Before North Films with fellow creative Jonothan Schaferkotter. Under the Before North header, Jon and Laura helmed three feature films: "One: A Story of Six" (2004), a docu-drama about college life, "The Ballad of Jacob Wonder and Wesley Precious" (2005), a surrealist existential western supplemented by talented new co-writer Jay Wertzler, and "The Beginning" (2007), Devin Fearn's zombie film homage. The company's biggest success to date, "The Beginning" premiered in Santa Cruz to a sold-out audience of nearly six hundred patrons at the Rio Theater.In late 2008, Laura made her way back down to Los Angeles, intent on developing her passion for film production. After working several projects in Santa Barbara as a freelance director and producer, she moved to the UK in late 2009 and became engaged to writer Jay Chirinos. Upon returning to the States, Laura found employment with Laser Pacific, a boutique post house in the heart of Hollywood, and stayed with the company as it was acquired by Technicolor Creative Services in 2011. She then worked as a DI Theatrical Assistant Producer at the Technicolor facility housed at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood until late 2014 when she moved into full-time film production. Show less «
