Biography
Laura Jean Healey is a BA (Hons) Fine Arts graduate from Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, who uses the medium of film to explore the nature of the cinematic experience. Her films mimic the effect of the cinema in order to manipulate her audience by subverting clichéd techniques, to demystify and 'pull back the curtain' to reveal the hidden mechanics of the cinema screen. Laura’s work strives to retain a sense of romanticism whilst revealing the unconsummated nature of these seemingly fulfilling images.
Since completing a successful mentorship with Cinematographer Seamus McGarvey BSC, she has been working in the film and television industry including feature films such as ‘Gulliver's Travels’, ‘World War Z’ and ‘Gravity’, as well as her own projects including ‘The Siren’ and 'Smoke & Mirrors: Act II, The Swan' and 'Act III, The Magician'. Laura has collaborated with Musion Systems – often as a Director of Photography - on many international projects, such as the Yota after show party holographic exhibition for the premiere of Mikhailovsky’s Swan Lake (London, 2010). Yota ~ Swan Lake won the MAMA’S Corporate Award 2010 and ‘The Siren’ won The MAMA’S Corporate Award 2012 for the most innovative design/concept for working with the Musion System.
