Robin Laing began her long career as a producer with 1985's Mr Wrong, the first of five projects she has worked on with director Gaylene Preston. In 1993 Laing was awarded a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for services to the New Zealand film industry. Her most recent project is an adaptation of Elizabeth Knox bestseller The Vintner's Luck.
In the chaos which is filmmaking, Robin Laing provides an oasis of reason and practicality matched with a fine creative sensibility. [...] I have no idea how I’d manage without her.
