out of spite productions
Dedicated to creating more opportunities for under-represented people, both in front of and behind the camera.
ABOUT
On the Name
The name comes from a time when I was a poor student and resentful toward classmates who were not. It's a bit of the "I'll show you!" mentality we often feel when confronted with things that seem unfair and cause jealousy.
I've gotten over a lot of my spite, but the world is a rough place and I can't pretend I'm above it. I would like to at least turn it into a positive in some way.
Mission
The goal of Out of Spite Productions is to create more opportunities for under-represented people in the film, television, and new media industries both in front of and behind the camera.
Info
Laurel Vail
Owner
I grew up in Idaho, but I call Los Angeles my home. I spent 11 years as a motion graphics artist and currently work in business solutions for a TV network's marketing group. I have been an actress for many years as well, but I wanted to branch out for a long time. I finally took that leap; started a company and completed my first short film. I'm hoping to continue finding ways to be creative and try to make the world a little better.
