Laura Walls

I’m a screenwriting PhD candidate who made the move into scripted film & TV in 2023 after a decade working as an advertising copywriter. My sweet spot is telling stories about flawed women that celebrate them for who they are: messy, complicated, funny & real.

My first comedy short, The Doodle, premiered at St Kilda Film Festival in 2025. Other projects in development include A Good Lie Down, a 1960s-set drama series about the Australian headache powder scandal that claimed thousands of lives, and Rowdy, a feature adaptation of the life of bare knuckle boxer and family violence survivor, Bec Rawlings.
