Biography

Born in East London, gaining an art school background followed by a number of years in television and documentary, Laurie always wanted to convey stories visually. His break into narrative work came almost by accident with director Ben Wheatley on DOWN TERRACE (2009) and since then a passion for combining story with the moving image has led to further collaborations with some of the most exciting directors working today. For Laurie, it’s resolutely about collaboration – joining with like-minded people to realise a story together. Now based in Brighton, Laurie lives with his wife and two children. Laurie Rose is known for his work with Ben Wheatley including HIGH-RISE and FREE FIRE.
