Shot on iphone 11 Pro cameras during the pandemic lockdown in Los Angeles, SHIPWRECK is a lyrical portrait of a young girl navigating grief, loss and sense of identity. As Lisa writes: "Like many people, my family and I have endured challenges during the pandemic, including navigating intense emotional terrain individually and as a bi-racial family. Working with my own children as actors in 'Shipwreck', the film became an avenue for our personal expression while paying homage to the collective loss in our world. The goal was to create something impactful with a minuscule crew and scant resources." SHIPWRECK has won several awards and is currently in 14 film festivals.
