Lisa Stock, is an award-winning filmmaker based in New York City. Called “a skillful alchemist at work” by Faerie Magazine, her films have been featured in festivals and screenings around the world including London, New York, Austin, San Jose, Hong Kong, Sydney, aired on PBS, and chosen as a Project of the Day on Kickstarter. Her work combines the spontaneity of myth & magic with stark reality to paint vibrant portraits of healing and personal truth.

“As a storyteller, I focus on characters embarking on a solo emotional journey of healing. As a filmmaker I like to frame that path out of the dark wood by mixing genres (magic realism/neo-realism) and by using visual devices such as windows or tableaux to give subtext to their narrative. Everything I do is deeply personal, wrapped in a mythical skin.”
