Laura Jones

Festival Business Manager

I am an experienced Production Manager with over 15 years in the UK television industry. My work spans award-winning productions across documentaries, live sports, outside broadcasting, and events for major networks, including BBC, PBS, Channel 4, CNN, ZDF, ESPN, Disney+, and National Geographic.

Originally from Patagonia, Argentina, I grew up during the military dictatorship—a formative experience that shaped my lifelong commitment to democracy and collaboration. Now based in Oxford, I combine my passion for film and production with my dedication to community life, serving as an elected Parish Councillor.

Film has always been a deep passion of mine: When I watch a film, I can immediately sense the effort, planning, and cost behind each shot.

I firmly believe that the key to a successful TV or film project lies in a happy, kind, and collaborative team. Being part of a creative community that celebrates stories from across the globe is a privilege, and I am constantly inspired by the incredible talent I encounter through my work.
