Lisa Enos is an award-winning filmmaker and actress known for the groundbreaking digital drama, "ivansxtc," which earned her the John Cassavetes Award nomination at the 2003 IFC Independent Spirit Awards. Enos' first notable cinematic work, "Angel of Bergen Belsen" (1997), was the first digital film to air on A&E Network. Enos followed it up with the true crime doc "Copycat Crimes" (1999), also for A&E, and then took her bare-bones documentary-style filmmaking to Hollywood, where she teamed up with fellow hyphenate actor/director Danny Huston. In addition to starring in their inaugural film, "ivansxtc," Huston also appeared in "The Kreutzer Sonata" (2008), Co-written and Produced by Enos, and the pair played opposite one another once more in "Boxing Day," which made its debut at the Venice Film Festival in 2012. Enos' other credits include the Juneteenth comedy, "Block Party" (2022), "Pink Chateau" (2019) and "State of Modern Love," which she wrote and directed. The film won two prizes at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival in 2018. In 2020, Enos went back 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. Enos' additional Producer credits include "Mr. Nice" (2010), starring Rhys Ifans, David Thewlis, Crispin Glover and Chloe Sevigny and "Man With A Movie Camera," starring Enos and directed by "Candyman" helmer Bernard Rose. The controversial film, which made its debut at the Edinburgh Film Festival in 2005, remains unreleased. "Prepper's Grove," a narrative thriller directed by Enos and starring Tom Sizemore and Academy Award winner Margaret O'Brien was incomplete at the time of Sizemore's death.
Unique traits: Made the first digital film to air on A&E Television and the First High Definition Feature even in Hollywood, entitled, "ivansxtc" which was nominated for FOUR INDEPENDENT SPIRIT AWARDS!
