"One of the most exciting new voices in horror"

writer / director

Stephanie is awful. a cheater and a liar all her life - she desperately wants to get ahead, and won’t allow anyone or anything to get in her way. She is a predator in a world full of idiot prey. But one night she takes a wrong turn and makes a deal she cannot get out of. with a predator far larger than her. Now she has to face the terrifying consequences.

Lís was written both before and after I became a mother and so it straddles both worlds: womanhood versus motherhood. Desire and yearning versus fear and vulnerability. I wanted to use a universal old-world theme to describe the dissonance between the two identities, and to express the change in my own way of seeing the world since I became a mother.

“Beware the vixen, Her eyes aflame.”

Lís has been made in association with the bristol school of acting.
