Lisa Lee

Lisa has worked at some of the most prestigious independent film companies in the world, first at Anonymous Content then on to Park Pictures in their commercial division. At Park, Lisa helped produce hundreds of commercials for clients such as Apple, Nike, Subaru and several national Super Bowl ads. Here she was inspired by and worked alongside many award winning directors and creatives. In 2016 Lisa joined Amazon Studios and built the first production department for the Original Movies division. She was instrumental in executing the pivot in strategy from acquiring pre-existing streaming content for the platform to in-house producing films that were entirely developed, shot and distributed by the studio for theater audiences. As a Production Executive, Lisa was responsible for manifesting the filmmaker’s goals onto the screen by orchestrating creative teams, managing multi-million dollar budgets and overseeing schedules without sacrificing the storytelling vision. Recent titles include ENCOUNTER, with Riz Ahmed and Octavia Spencer, BIRDS OF PARADISE, with Diana Silvers and Kristine Froseth, and the Stacey Abrams documentary, ALL IN: THE FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY. Lisa also sits on the board of ForwardThis, a nonprofit production company started by inmates in San Quentin State to educate the incarcerated population in personal development through film and providing employment upon release and the Design Thinking program at UCR Extension.
