Lisa Enos is a multifaceted creative talent, boasting a diverse range of credits across the realms of filmmaking and acting. Her groundbreaking digital drama, "ivansxtc," garnered her a John Cassavetes Award nomination at the 2003 IFC Independent Spirit Awards, cementing her status as a pioneer in the industry.
Enos' cinematic journey began with the 1997 film "Angel of Bergen Belsen," which made history as the first digital film to air on A&E Network. She subsequently collaborated with fellow hyphenate Danny Huston on the true crime doc "Copycat Crimes" (1999) for A&E, and later brought her bare-bones documentary-style filmmaking to Hollywood, teaming up with Huston once more on the film "ivansxtc."
The dynamic duo reunited for "The Kreutzer Sonata" (2008),a co-written and produced film in which Enos also starred alongside Huston. They later appeared together in "Boxing Day," which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2012. Enos' additional credits include the Juneteenth comedy "Block Party" (2022),"Pink Chateau" (2019),and the critically acclaimed "State of Modern Love," which she wrote and directed, and won two prizes at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival in 2018.
In 2020, Enos returned to her documentary roots with "Charlotte's Story," a whimsical journalistic piece that blends archival footage with homegrown interviews about her early years in Hollywood. Her additional producer credits include "Mr. Nice" (2010),starring Rhys Ifans, David Thewlis, Crispin Glover, and Chloe Sevigny, as well as "Man With A Movie Camera," directed by Bernard Rose and starring Enos.
Enos' narrative thriller "Prepper's Grove," directed by Enos and starring Tom Sizemore and Academy Award winner Margaret O'Brien, remains incomplete at the time of Sizemore's passing.
