Laurie Agard

Laurie Agard was born on Jun 28, 1966 in USA. Laurie Agard's big-screen debut came with Frog and Wombat directed by Laurie Agard in 1998.

Laurie Agard was born June 28, 1966, in Topeka, Kansas. When she was four her family moved to Colorado where she spent her formative years surrounded by beauty, tourists, and living in an isolated outdoor activity paradise. In the sixth grade as an award for perfect attendance Laurie received a free unlimited movie pass to the Kiva, the lone theatre in her small home town of Durango Colorado -- which played Grease and Star Wars all summer long. As her parents divorced, Laurie attended screenings often four times a day. She was struck by how a movie viewed in a theatre of thrilled fans was electrifying -- but when viewed alone would not have the same impact. She realized at a very young age it was the limbic activity of those around us that draw our emotions into almost immediate congruence, and that's what she loved most about movies.
