Laura Jane Turner (they/them) is a queer, non-binary actor, director and creative producer based in Naarm. They are drawn to complex, character-driven stories exploring human behaviour through feminist and queer perspectives, both on screen and behind the camera.

Behind the camera, they have worked across directing, producing, writing, crewing and creative development, including on Netflix's Videoland, and Natalie Erika James' debut feature film Relic.
Laura brings an embodied, emotionally curious approach to their work, shaped by a long career in animal conservation, advocacy and education in inclusion, accessibility and creating safer spaces, and an established movement practice alongside years of Muay Thai training. These experiences continue to inform their collaborative approach to character and storytelling.
A First Class Honours graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts (Acting) and SAE Institute (Filmmaking), Laura is the recipient of the Equity Foundation's 2022 Atlantic Acting School Scholarship. Their work has been recognised through multiple performance and filmmaking awards, reflecting a practice grounded in curiosity, collaboration and emotionally truthful storytelling.
