"There are few brave individuals one comes across in an industry ridden by art bias and fearful gate-keepers. This is the current state of the independent film industry. It's an industry overridden with endless content and in which few are brave enough to discover films that transcend biases and cross borders. In my quest to find trusted homes for the Lebanese film ‘1982’ few were brave enough to consider the film and to speak for it. Then I met Laura Malin. Upon viewing the film, Laura reached out and communicated with such transparency, that I immediately felt I found trusted partner who could find the right home for the film in Brazil. Leaving no stone unturned in the quest to put the film out in the world, Laura found the best home imaginable for 1982 in Brazil. The wonderful process and the transparency has made for a lasting friendship and a person with whom, given the opportunity, I see myself working in the future.."

"When we retained Laura’s services for our feature film, Laura did an excellent job, from the suggestions on the brainstorming sessions with our team, from specific scenes to plot and dialogues, to helping deliver the first draft with excellent quality and on time. She has also contributed with specific research, casting suggestions, and approaching talent due to her excellent relations with the movie industry. Her knowledge as a co-producer on her other projects comes also as a benefit, as her advices are always very cost conscience."
