Meet Amy Laslett of Kids at Play in Hollywood

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
I think you’ll be hard pressed to find someone who runs a company to say it’s a smooth road. In fact, I’d say there are more hard days than easy ones. It’s part of what makes the success so sweet.

I think the most challenging part is that everything becomes your baby – you care so deeply for every person and every project, and when that’s not reciprocated it’s hard not to let it affect you in a personal way.

That said, I’ve learned through every bump that it forces me to come up with a different solution and a different way of thinking it through. And I think that – most of the time – makes the product better than it would have been without the challenge.

Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Kids at Play – what should we know?
Kids at Play is a full-service production company. We produce TV, Film, Digital and Branded work across all genres.

I think that’s what makes us unique – is that we never put ourselves in a niche. We find projects that we love, and we want to watch, we don’t just buy them because it fits a certain brand.

I love that we’re able to toggle between a romantic comedy film and a horror digital series; between a comedic brand spot and an unscripted television show. I think it keeps everyone – from our employees to our partners – interested in what we’re going to do next.
