Career
LaMarque acted in local theatre while growing up in Claremont, CA. She got a degree in English with a creative writing emphasis in poetry from Stanford University. Screenwriting proved to be the combination of these two interests. She took UCLA extension classes in Screenwriting, before getting her MFA in Screenwriting from the AFI Conservatory. At AFI she wrote The Pretty One.[1] LaMarque wrote and directed the short Spoonful, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2012. The Pretty One script was on The Black List in 2011, which helped LaMarque enlist top talent like Zoe Kazan playing both twins, and Jake Johnson, who plays her love interest.[2] LaMarque was a finalist for the Tribeca Film Festival's award "The Nora" in 2013.[3] The Pretty One was nominated for the 2014 Best Movie By a Woman by the Women Film Critics Circle.
