Laura Fenney

Director, Screenwriter, Producer

Laura Fenney is a filmmaker, who is drawn to writing stories about flawed characters who aren't aware of the traps they fall into or willingly dive headfirst into the chaos.
At 31 she moved from MA to NY to pursue a dream of screenwriting and found a PA job in the reality TV world in Connecticut. Since then, she has worked a variety of production jobs, including as an unpaid writer's assistant to a retired soap opera writer where she became more of a live-in nurse than an actual writer. But she's always up for a novel adventure if it means she'll get a good story.
Recently she made her directorial debut at the 48 Hour Film Project in New Haven, where her SAG-AFTRA micro budget short "Delivery Driver" won Best Film, Best Director, Best Lead Actress, and the Audience Award. The film will compete internationally during Filmapalooza in 2026.
