Lisa Saban

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

After making her first short film, Estranged, in 2022—which was the most exhilarating learning experience of her twenty-eight years on this earth—Lisa continues to explore her voice as an emerging female filmmaker in Toronto. With a background in theatre, Lisa brings a strong understanding of character relationships and layered dialogue. She enjoys telling stories that expose the nuances and messiness of what it means to be a confused-ass human on this earth, where not much really makes sense. But alas, we persevere and we move forward in the best way we know how.
