About

 

The writer of ‘Killer Eyes’ is Lauran Childs, an English screenwriter in Miami.

 

Lauran Childs was born and raised in Liverpool in the north of England. She excelled at school and loved writing and art in particular.

 

Lauran attained an honors degree in Film and Literature at Essex University, England. Whilst at university she became involved in the anti-rape movement in London, working on the publication of the first study on rape and sexual harassment in England, published as ‘Ask Any Woman’.

 

After leaving university Lauran worked in the anti-rape movement for years as an activist, and public speaker in particular, whilst dancing most nights and enjoying the rich cultural mix of London – a follow-on from her experiences at Essex University, the most multi-cultural university in England.

 

Lauran has always pursued her artistic and literary leanings and continued to paint portraits, to write books (which tragically died in a fire – pre-internet), and edited a Booker and Orange prize winner’s work, who shall remain nameless because he doesn’t deserve the publicity.

 

Lauran moved to the USA some years ago and lived in San Francisco and the wine country before moving to Miami twelve years ago. Well-traveled, Lauran says Miami is the place that delights her most of all.

 

Since moving to Miami, Lauran has continued to enjoy the stimulus of different cultures, to write and to paint – including pop art murals in South Beach – and started writing movie scripts. Lauran  always knew she that would make movies. She just wanted a rich life experience before she began.

 

Now it’s time.

 

Lauran’s has also written other scripts in different genres, including the horror film ‘She Lives Again’, and ‘When I…’, a dark urban drama.
