Let's talk about your project:
JaZzyMaE Media Founder: Laurie Lamson
Laurie is a creative strategist and multi-award-winning writer who collaborates with clientele ranging from production companies to ad agencies, government organizations, and entrepreneurs.
In addition to achieving or exceeding communication goals, client videos have received multiple honors, such as an Emmy nomination, Aegis, Telly, and CINE Golden Eagle awards.
Laurie is especially adept at translating complex material into clear, crisp, compelling content, polishing text, and jazzing up creative projects.
She puts her BFA from Tisch School of the Arts to good use, bringing to the table a background in production and project management.
With the enthusiasm of a recent film school grad, combined with the experience of a seasoned pro, Laurie is known for her self-motivated, can-do work ethic.
“It’s not about the problems,
it’s all about the solutions.”
Produced scripts Laurie has written include the feature film GUITAR MAN, which has earned two awards for the screenplay and fifteen other film festival wins.
Short projects Laurie directed have been well-received internationally, and Festigious Monthly Film Competition included her in their list of 30 Female Directors You Should Know.
From a young age, Laurie’s imagination was sparked by fantastical books and international movies. One of her favorite past-times was organizing friends to perform variety shows.

- Amy Holden Jones screenwriter, director, TV creator (Beethoven film series, The Resident, Black Box)

- Glen Mazzara TV writer/producer (Walking Dead, Damien)
- Karey Kirkpatrick screenwriter (Smallfoot, Spiderwick Chronicles, Over the Hedge)
- Colleen McCullough TV writer (Friends From College, 30 Rock)
… and legendary authors:

Laurie was honored to host teleconferences for International Screenwriters’ Association for four years, and teach at-risk teen girls creative writing through Free Arts for Abused Children.
