More exciting news regarding MOMSTER, which has been awarded runner up in the Performance & Media Short Film Awards at BAFTA. MOMSTER, an original take on the subject of containment and abuse, in which Laurence plays the Father, has been selected for the 'Shorts On Walls' section of this year's FLATPACK FESTIVAL ("Innovation is the name of the game in this weird and wonderful little festival, designed for lovers of all that's eclectic, genre-busting and artistic about cinema," Andrea Hubert, The Guardian). It plays on Saturday 14th March at 6.30pm.
Laurence appears in Avantika Hari's powerful debut feature film, LAND GOLD WOMEN, which follows the story of a British-Asian family caught between Eastern tradition, Western culture and political turbulence. The film received its national premiere in Birmingham on February 12th 2009, and has already attracted the attention of the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, because of its controversial subject matter.
Congratulations to Esther May Campbell for winning the 2009 BAFTA for her short film SEPTEMBER. Esther directed Laurence as Andy Statham in DOCTORS (BBC1) and also in BE MINE, as part of the BBC4 Bollywood Shorts season.
