Liza and I met on the Dove commercial - real casting of real moms shot all over Los Angeles.
Liza had been developing and filming for ‘Jawline’ for about a year before I met her. We traveled to Tennessee (outside of Knoxville) multiple times finishing the project. She had connections at Condé Nast, and I would Executive Produce and Line Produce her jobs. She has a unique style that I’ve seen many since (try to) replicate. We operated under tight budgets on all of these projects, but the visuals and excellent storytelling always shined.
Liza premiered Jawline in the U.S. Documentary Competition at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. She won the Special Jury Award for Emerging Filmmaker. The doc was picked up by Hulu for distribution after the festival.
