Timeline
Laura Jones spent the beginning of her adult life doing odd jobs. During the mid- 70s she was living in Canberra with her husband and daughter, who took up most of her time. In her mid-twenties she bought her first TV and after watching many shows she thought that writing for TV “would be a way of making money without going to work”. Jones’ screenwriting career began after she sent a play to Australian screenwriter Tony Morphett. Morphett got Jones her first screenwriting job for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Certain Women series in 1975. Jones continued to work in television for a time and she that: "you learn a great deal writing for soaps".
Jones’ career in film began with her original screenplay for High Tide in 1987 that was directed by Gillian Armstrong and “garnered high praise”. Following her success, Jane Campion hired Jones for a television miniseries that turned into the film An Angel at My Table, an adaptation of Janet Frame's autobiography. After this, Jones' career turned into adaptation after adaptation. Her films are generally about women and feature strong female characters, and she is now considered one of the world’s best movie adapters.
Laura Jones has won the Australian Writer’s Guild Award three times, the New South Wales Premier’s Prize for Screen Writing twice, and the Australian Film Institute’s Byron Kennedy Award in 1997.
Jones is a strong supporter of Australian filmmaking and during the 1990s served on the Australian Film Commission.
Jones served on the Australian Film Commission during the 1990s and is "very active in encouraging women's (and alternative) women's cinema".
Jones started her career writing teleplays for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Her first feature film credit was the original screenplay for High Tide (1987), directed by Gillian Armstrong and starring Judy Davis. This was followed by her adaptation of the Janet Frame autobiography, An Angel at My Table (1990), which was directed by Jane Campion. She collaborated again with Campion, this time on The Portrait of a Lady (1996). The following years saw her team up with Armstrong on Oscar and Lucinda, as well as work on other literary adaptations for Hollywood.
