“Laura is an unseen hand in many works of journalism across Alaska, often helping connect reporters to subjects who can speak directly to stories or being willing to be a subject herself. She’s a powerful writer, telling stories in her own words and helping journalists from all mediums understand and report on some of the state’s most pressing issues.”

Kyle Hopkins, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist with ProPublica and Anchorage Daily News

Anchorage, Alaska

“On any issue the State faces, it’s important to put a face to the impact of the problem. When I saw the first screening of Laura’s first film in Juneau, it was clear there were issues around childcare licensing that the State needed to address. It motivated me as a legislator to look into what needed to change and to take action to change it. The result was becoming a Task Force member on the Governor’s Childcare Task force and legislation that was passed and signed to address some of the issues.

Much of what the Task Force focused on were the regulatory problems that were highlighted in the film.”

Representative Julie Coulombe (Republican, Alaska House District 11)
