Lisa was awarded a 2024 Macdowell Fellowship and a 2025 Bogliasco Fellowship – both are artist residencies, given to continue writing and editing Walk by Me. A huge honor!
We’re thrilled to announce that Walk by Me has been invited to the Seattle Film Festival’s Work in Progress Forum. Stay tuned for details.

I think David would have chuckled at the New York Times headline of his obit:
“David Balding, Producer Who Adoptedan Elephant, Dies at 75”
David, you will be sorely missed.
