Laura Heilanen
Production Assistant
Experienced camera trainee with a background in production.
I am based in North London. I have a full clean driving EU licence, EU passport and I am fluent in English, French and Finnish.
Recently, I finally took the leap and entered the world of camera department. In 2023, I interned at a prominent rental house for three months, where I gained an in-depth understanding of most well-known digital cameras, lenses and various stabilizers. Since, I've worked on commercials, music promos and also a few features. I am keen to expand my knowledge in 16mm and 35mm and to learn more about Steadicam rigs and remote heads.
