“My first lead in a feature, hopefully not my last,” she shared.
“Getting to call this work was a treat and being able to share the screen with some brilliant female talent like Frances, Asia and Erin – Tam we didn’t get to share a scene so had to make do with a Cosmo in the hotel instead!
“Really looking forward to sharing this project with you all!” Laura concluded.
The film follows a woman who lies and says she is the lost mother of a dying child. But her words change her life and push her down a rabbit hole of deceit.
The project, which is already in the works, is being made by production company Goldfinch which worked on the Oscar-winning Irish film, An Irish Goodbye.
While this might be Laura’s first movie role, it’s certainly not her first time acting.
In 2022, she appeared in Danny Robins’ supernatural play 2:22 A Ghost Story, alongside Busted’s Matt Willis.
We can’t wait to watch this!
