British writer Lisa Marks moved to Los Angeles two years ago to pursue her dream of 'making it' as a screen-writer in Hollywood. A few months after arriving in the States her short film, Maconie's List, won the Duke City Shootout film festival. Directing her own short was a dream come true and now her goal is to sell a feature. She can generally be found tapping away at her laptop in any number of coffee shops muttering furiously to herself. Don't worry, this is all perfectly normal.
