A Chicago native, Lisa has worked in independent film for over a decade, from film festival programming and management to marketing and publicity for Oscar-nominated narrative and documentary films. From the midwest to Park City to Manhattan and back again, she’s worked with Sundance Film Festival, Film Movement, Music Box Films, Chicago International Film Festival and more. Through it all, her work, from traditional publicity to social media management to grassroots marketing outreach, seeks to accomplish one thing: ensuring films find their audiences. Today, she works directly with filmmakers and festivals through her agency, 11th Street Lot, providing one-on-one marketing and publicity direction and strategies to achieve that goal.
