Interview with Director Lisa Ovies [Women in Horror Month 2021]

Please introduce yourself.
Thank you so much, My name is Lisa Ovies. I am a director and producer working predominantly in horror. I started off as an actress in 2008 and quickly learned that I was not going to get the roles and jobs I wanted unless I took a more active role in my career. In 2011 I launched my first production company I No.Films and in 2014 I started my directing career.

Please introduce yourself.
Hi! I am Sheri Davis. I am an actress, producer, director, and host of Lone Star Horrors which can be watched on Fear Flix at After Hours Cinema on Roku. I am also a Registered Nurse and Set Medic, which also transitioned into becoming a Covid Compliance Officer for film and television, since the pandemic has begun. I grew up in a small rural town in North Texas. I was a total Tomboy as a child. My parents divorced when I was 4 or 5. I was raised by middle-class working parents and my grandparents who all lived in the same little town of about 3,000 people. I have 3 younger brothers as well, but I think I was still more boy than any of them were because I would much rather have been on my dirtbike, riding horses, playing sports, or anything other than hanging out with other girls. I am also the mom of two beautiful daughters.
