After graduating early from New York University's prestigious TISCH school of the arts, Laura Gillis dove head first into the arduous world of independent film production in New York City, working her way up from art PA to production designer on projects ranging from independent features to commercials, music videos, and award-winning short films.  Eventually her passion for the creative process beckoned her to the business side of the industry, where she discovered a love for development, and later, talent management.  She now works on the Prolific team with some of the most talented writers and directors today.
