Biography

Laramie Dennis is a writer/director intent on deploying sly humor, deft subtext, and "a knack for lively, naturalistic dialogue" in her exploration of complex women and other underrepresented characters. She got her start in NYC directing and developing Off-Off-Broadway plays, and her background in theater continues to inform her moviemaking. She prioritizes close collaboration with her actors, workshopping and rehearsing scripts well in advance of shooting, and borrowing details from her actors’ lives to enrich their characters. Where in the Hell, an offbeat road movie about a pair of defectors from the crumbling LA film industry, marks her feature film debut. It premiered in 2024, and has scooped up awards including Best Comedy Feature (Poppy Jasper), Best Screenplay and Best Narrative Feature (Queens World), and the She's On Fire Award (Female Filmmakers Festival Berlin). As a union script supervisor for film and TV, Laramie often works behind the scenes as well.
