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.

My feature debut as a director ‘Puppet Killer’ did 4 months on the festival circuit in 2019-2020 before Covid shut us down, receiving 79 nominations and awards including several for best overall feature, best director and Jury awards for best film.

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.

Sure. I started on this journey as an actress, then became a screenwriter, and then eventually a director. A lot of what pushed me into these other positions is the lack of decent acting opportunities. I quickly learned that I wasn’t going to be fulfilled as a creator until I started telling the stories that were important to me. I am drawn to female-driven stories, social issue stories, and also stories that root for the underdog in society.

Please introduce yourself.
My name is Kirsten Keeton. My friends call me Kirstie or KK. I’m 29 years old. A Leo. I feel like purple isn’t just a color, it’s also an attitude and I embody that. I enjoy a good cackle and Tatcha skincare products are my love language. I would love to think of myself as an intellectual, but some of my life choices… I talk with my hands, I’m an overactive listener, but I swear I’m not aggressive – I’m just passionate about a lot of random things. I love having my feelings manipulated by a good story – whether it’s narratively, visually, or both. Even going as far as when people lie to your face – I’m the kind of person that is so straight-forward because I’m a bad liar, but I can really appreciate a good lie. Those are stories, too – in every sense but that’s for a whole other conversation.
