I’m guest starring on a creepy little show called @2shsseries this Tuesday on @thecw at 8pm ET. I play Kora in the “Essence” episode, along side @chiguz @christinsypark @mspatriciaisaac. Can’t give away much, but my character goes on quite the journey. 😉 I’ll post a behind-the-scenes photo of me and my fellow co-stars tomorrow in celebration of the episodes release. This episode was also directed by the wonderful @onebolafun. . #💇🏻♀️ : @katrinazombie #💄 : @edina_schubert . . . . . #2sentencehorrorstories #cw #stage13 #lauramennell #gueststar #allfemalecast #scarystories #areyouafraidofthedark #creepshow #fauxbangs #actorslife #vancouverfilm #yvrfilm #projectbluebook #mimihynek #actress #comingsoontoyourtv #epictv #stage13network

I’ve fallen madly in love with Sabrina Furminger and her wonderful podcast YVR Screen Scene—she interviews folks in our Vancouver film industry, giving her audience candid and fun conversations with actors and filmmakers. My episode has just popped up… Click the link in @yvrscreenscene’s bio and have a listen.

I’m more of a quiet celebrator when it comes to this day… but I’ll share with you…. It’s my birthday! And it’s been pleasantly marked by my @fresh_mag & @pursuit_365 feature released today! In it are a selection of photos taken by the talented @parasolly—one of my favorite artistic shoots ever. I’ll post a link to the article in my bio. And stay tuned for #pursuit365’s coffee table book coming out in the near future, which include many stories from all sorts of inspiring individuals—I’m thankful to be included. https://freshmag.ca/pursuit-365-day-108-Laura-Mennell/?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-fresh_mag&utm_content=later-26182137&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkin.bio . . . . . . . #lauramennell #freshmagazine #birthday #klimptinspired #bathtubphotoshoot #nightshoots #backyardphotoshoot #projectbluebook #loudermilk #maninthehightcastle #watchmen #batwoman #vancouverfilm #actress #actorsonacting #inthetub #ringlightchallenge #mimihynek
Had a great catch up with wonderful @edaphotographer a few weeks ago—taking a few shots (like this!) in the process. Ed was the stills photographer on @historybluebook, so it was especially nice having a creative reunion with him. Go check out his insta page, to see what other amazing photos he’s been taking lately. More to come! #findyourlight #creativeshoots #ladyinred #edaraquel #lauramennell #photographydaily #vancouverphotographer #actor #vintagestyle #filmnoirvibes #popofcolor #projectbluebook #potraitvintage #browneyedgirl #girlsonfilm #actorslife #stillsphotographer #vancouverfilmindustry #hollywoodnorth

Here’s a behind-the-scenes photo of tonight’s @2shsseries episode with my wonderful co-stars @christinsypark and @chiguz. Was such a pleasure to be on a show with an all female cast—a first in my career. Our episode “Essence” was also written by @meganrosati and directed by @onebolafun. It’s an episode jam packed with a whole lot of powerful female energy. I’m not allowed to give anything away, but I hope you enjoy it tonight on the @cw at 8pm ET. I’m also so in love with how each episode of 2SHS is such a champion of diversity on screen. Our world is filled with so many different people—varying races, sexualities, genders, abilities—it’s what makes our world wonderful and more interesting. We need to see MORE of these diverse voices and characters on our TVs and in our theatres! @stage13network #2sentencehorrorstories #2SHS #scarystories #girlsonfilm #epictv #horrorlover #cw #stage13 #stage13network #allfemalecast #upandcomingyoungactresses #girlpower #chiaraguzzo #christinpark #behindthescenes #actorslife #lauramennell #vancouverfilm #yvrfilm #canadianactors #americantelevision

Our poster for “Circle” is officially out—featuring me, and my lovely friend @lunaferguson in their official onscreen debut of sorts! It was an exciting time for us all! Our film was originally conceived during Covid and in our little social bubble that included Luna (my wonderful co-star), @florianhalbedl (our amazing director) and my guy, @solomanartist (who’s also our fantastic composer). Though it was the beginning of a strange time, social isolating together brought about artistic catalyst and inspiration. We also had a great time shooting with our awesome micro crew. Thank you to each and every member of our team who made this possible. And a special thank you to Cathie Hahnel, who created this beautiful poster for us! @cathahnel Much love, Laura x @florianhalbedl – Writer, Director, Producer @lunaferguson – Actor, Producer @laura_mennell – Actor, Producer @solomanartist – Composer, Producer @mark_berlet – Cinematographer @parasolly – Production Designer, Set Decorator & Styling @breakfastattiffanyla – Post Producer @laissie – Editor @dressesothers – Costume Designer #kirbyjinnah – Sound Editor @brucenborland – Camera Operator @davinafaye – Make-up & Hair Designer @ace4van – Script Supervisor @lisalancastr – Set Decorator @hudspop – Sound Mixer @mcartermusic – Additional Music @thegratefulseb – Director’s Assistant @darnicar – Key Production Assistant #lauraupton – FACS, Catering @sgllng – Colourist @jonnypix – Online Editor . . . . . . #circleshortfilm #⭕️ #lauramennell #lunaferguson #florianhelbdl #mikesoman #circlers #indiefilm #shortfilm #vancouverfilmindustry #yvrfilm #filmsduringcovid #pictureshow #beautifulbritishcolumbia #friendsmakingmovies #comingsoonin2021 #comingtoatheatersnearyou

Dreaming of travelling to Florence, where these two beauties from @calimala_ jewelry come from. Both the pendant and belt buckle are cast in bronze Solomon knots—a symbol of union with the Devine.

Let’s keep going and help give much needed funds to those in need this Holiday Season. Please consider donating if you can. There’s an easy link in my bio to donate. Thank you to all, listed below, who graciously put themselves on tape to spread the word.
