(laughs)

00:00:29,660 –> 00:00:32,260

00:00:50,740 –> 00:00:52,800
At what part of America are you from, Lisa?
18
00:00:54,080 –> 00:00:58,640
Right now, well, we just moved to Charleston, South Carolina area.
19
00:00:58,640 –> 00:01:00,680
It’s beautiful here.
20
00:01:00,680 –> 00:01:03,480
Brilliant. Charleston, South Carolina.
21
00:01:03,480 –> 00:01:05,280
America’s a big place, isn’t it?
22
00:01:05,280 –> 00:01:07,080
(laughs)
23
00:01:07,080 –> 00:01:08,080
Yeah, yeah.
24
00:01:08,080 –> 00:01:09,720
You get a little bit of everything.
25
00:01:09,720 –> 00:01:12,020
(laughs)
26
00:01:12,020 –> 00:01:16,420
So, Lisa, how did you get into filmmaking?
27
00:01:16,420 –> 00:01:21,080
Well, it was really accidental.
28
00:01:21,080 –> 00:01:24,000
Probably like every good thing in my life.
29
00:01:24,000 –> 00:01:29,000
I can’t say it’s careful planning and plotting on my part.
30
00:01:29,000 –> 00:01:31,800
I’m a writer by trade,
31
00:01:31,800 –> 00:01:35,640
and I got a book of short stories published
32
00:01:35,640 –> 00:01:39,160
by a small publishing house in Tennessee,
33
00:01:39,160 –> 00:01:42,520
and they asked me to do a promo video for the book.
34
00:01:42,520 –> 00:01:45,040
And so I did.
35
00:01:45,040 –> 00:01:49,400
And then, it was just such a fascinating thing
36
00:01:49,400 –> 00:01:53,640
to watch, the promo video being put together.
37
00:01:53,640 –> 00:01:57,040
And then I decided to do a short story from the book,
38
00:01:57,040 –> 00:01:59,360
make it into a very short,
39
00:01:59,360 –> 00:02:03,680
and then I was kind of hooked and decided
40
00:02:03,680 –> 00:02:06,400
I wanted to make my own film, “Peture.”
41
00:02:06,400 –> 00:02:10,320
So, there really wasn’t,
42
00:02:10,320 –> 00:02:13,720
it kind of happened step by step accidentally.
43
00:02:13,720 –> 00:02:16,680
Yeah, well, that’s fascinating.
44
00:02:16,680 –> 00:02:18,680
So, was you ever into acting?
45
00:02:18,680 –> 00:02:21,160
You know, you like some people get into acting in college
46
00:02:21,160 –> 00:02:25,160
or high school, would you ever interact
47
00:02:25,160 –> 00:02:27,160
in any staging alive?
48
00:02:27,160 –> 00:02:30,200
You know, I dabbled in it.
49
00:02:30,200 –> 00:02:32,200
I was in a couple of things in high school,
50
00:02:32,200 –> 00:02:34,200
and then there’s, you know, adult theater,
51
00:02:34,200 –> 00:02:38,600
but I never felt like I was in my own skin
52
00:02:38,600 –> 00:02:42,200
when I was pretending to be somebody else.
53
00:02:42,200 –> 00:02:47,200
And that’s just not a place where I could lose myself.
54
00:02:47,200 –> 00:02:50,160
And I was way too self-conscious.
55
00:02:50,160 –> 00:02:53,520
And I just feel like to be a really great actor.
56
00:02:53,520 –> 00:02:56,600
You have to completely lose yourself
57
00:02:56,600 –> 00:03:00,040
and become one in one with that character.
58
00:03:00,040 –> 00:03:03,200
And, you know, so you keep the connection with the audience.
59
00:03:03,200 –> 00:03:05,560
So the audience doesn’t feel
60
00:03:05,560 –> 00:03:08,280
that you are a self-consciousness.
61
00:03:08,280 –> 00:03:12,800
Oh, I see, yeah, well, that’s a good point there.
62
00:03:12,800 –> 00:03:15,800
So, what would you say motivates you in life, generally?
63
00:03:18,640 –> 00:03:25,640
I think the creative process is very motivating for me.
64
00:03:25,640 –> 00:03:27,640
I really love it.
65
00:03:27,640 –> 00:03:31,640
Some people like, you know, working on their own projects
66
00:03:31,640 –> 00:03:34,640
and doing their own things from beginning to end.
67
00:03:34,640 –> 00:03:41,640
But it is really been the collaboration that I feel like
68
00:03:41,640 –> 00:03:45,640
I just direct joy working with other people
69
00:03:45,640 –> 00:03:49,640
and building something that none of us really could have foreseen
70
00:03:49,640 –> 00:03:53,640
because art is so organic, you can have a plan.
71
00:03:53,640 –> 00:03:57,640
But if you’re really involved in it, it does change.
72
00:03:57,640 –> 00:04:02,640
And it becomes something that’s greater than all the people, you know, involved.
73
00:04:02,640 –> 00:04:07,640
And it’s a beautiful process.
74
00:04:07,640 –> 00:04:11,640
And I think it speaks to my soul.
75
00:04:11,640 –> 00:04:13,640
Yeah, yeah.
76
00:04:13,640 –> 00:04:19,640
That’s a good way of getting motivated for something.
77
00:04:19,640 –> 00:04:23,640
I mean, a lot of people derive their motivation
78
00:04:23,640 –> 00:04:26,640
from other things in life, you know.
79
00:04:26,640 –> 00:04:32,640
But I suppose for me, nothing would be creating something.
80
00:04:32,640 –> 00:04:34,640
You know what I mean?
81
00:04:34,640 –> 00:04:36,640
If you’re motivated by creating something,
82
00:04:36,640 –> 00:04:40,640
that’s a really good force to be motivated by it.
83
00:04:40,640 –> 00:04:43,640
And that’s great, honestly, I would say.
84
00:04:43,640 –> 00:04:45,640
Right, so we’re going to take a shot break.
85
00:04:45,640 –> 00:04:48,640
Now, what we’re going to come back, we’re going to be talking to Lisa about.
86
00:04:48,640 –> 00:04:51,640
She’s going to be telling us a bit more about the movie’s paint.
87
00:04:51,640 –> 00:04:54,640
So without shortly, please don’t go away.
88
00:04:54,640 –> 00:04:56,640
Without shortly.
89
00:04:56,640 –> 00:05:03,640
