TV Writer and Comedian

Laura Mannino is a television comedy writer, political organizer, parent, and the lady you ask to watch your stuff at the airport. She loves writing about earnest women who are way too smart to have such little power.

Laura's original half-hour pilot, Bomb placed in the second round of the Austin Film Festival Screenplay Competition and was a Final Draft Big Break and PAGE Awards Semifinalist. Her short, Ten Minute Decade screened at the Big Apple Film Festival, New Filmmakers NY, and was a finalist at Hammer Museum's Open Projector Night. Laura also won Best Actress in a Short Film from the Sunset Film Festival.

A founder of Drain The NRA and Los Angeles For Warren, Laura had the honor of joining the Warren For President campaign as a field organizer in Los Angeles.
