Laurence Rosier Staines

Laurence writes and directs film and theatre; his satires and comedy-dramas have been shortlisted for the Griffin Award, longlisted for the Bruntwood Prize and called things like "wildly funny" (ScreenCraft) and "truly deft, mysterious and thrilling; philosophical yet poppy, audacious and incredibly smart" (The Black List). He recently optioned the black comedy-drama television series Real Estate to UK-based producers and he has made five award-winning short films.

He’s also a director and producer of large-scale experiential shows. Laurence created, directs and produces Caldera, a festival of burlesque, experimental music, interactive art and fire held in Sydney, and You Can Have It All, a three-room immersive show. He is experienced with technically-sophisticated shows that cross genres and combine mediums.
