Laurel Bolts

Motion Pictures & Television – Producing / Master of Fine Arts (MFA)

School of Motion Pictures & Television

All I ever wanted was to be part of the magic that brought movies to life. At a young age, I lived and breathed acting participating in almost every play my high school ran. My family’s holiday movie was not the traditional Christmas specials but the entire Jurassic Park series. I graduated in 2023 with an acting degree wondering what was next for me. After starting my graduate program, I have now added producing and stage management to my list of skills. Film is my favorite one for its ability to allow me to see new perspectives. My journey with it as an actor and producer has been the best roller coaster I’ve been on. Each year I’m learning new skills to improve myself. I’m happy to say that I get to see the love and wonder blossom in the future generation working as a Stage Manager for a children’s theater company. Growing up in the Bay Area I am lucky to be able to be part of the spaces that bring these opportunities.
