Laura Mihartescu |1st AD

Born in Romania and raised in Germany, Laura has also lived in Paris and the US for several years. Due to her multinational background, she feels at home in any international work setting. During her 25 years in the business, she has worked on countless national and international features, tv-films, series and commercials, and her passion for film and television has taken her around the world.

What directors and producers appreciate most, are her excellent scheduling skills, her invaluable on-set presence and the fact that she knows how to get the job done - and more importantly - how to get production value on screen. She has worked with numerous A list actors and her experience ranges from intimate scenes, to large crowd scenes with hundreds of extras, complex action sequences including air and water action, period films, music and choreography-driven dramas as well as SFX, VFX and Motion Control. She’s literally done it all.

Laura is an EU citizen, based in Berlin and more than happy to work worldwide, and is fluent in German, English & Romanian, and proficient in French and Italian.
