Kid Sis in Hollywood: More Google Madness

More Google Madness

Someone googled "What to Buy an ENFP for Christmas" and visited my site...so through that odd connection, I found this site with its excellent holiday advice about paring down.

She's kind of like a mischievous kid and we're the elevator. She's going to push all our buttons and there's nothing we can do about it. Goddard says all you need (to make a movie) is a girl and gun. I say all this woman needs is a typewriter.

Here I am directing my debut feature film, THE COMMUNE:

Directing internet sensation CHAUNTAL LEWIS:

That Lago kid's in it too, I hear. Daaaaavid Laaaaago. Be still your beating heart...we're auctioning off his sheets! (J/K Dave...)

I WANT TO KNOW MORE!

THE COMMUNE IS...

“Disturbing. Unconventional. Raw.”
- Katt Shea, writer/director, POISON IVY

“In the footsteps of classic 70s thrillers.”
- Paul W.S. Anderson, writer/director, RESIDENT EVIL, DEATH RACE

"The bastard child of THE WICKER MAN and Greek tragedy, THE COMMUNE is a heady mix of myth and mystery, featuring a young virgin who finds herself isolated in a remote commune of religious "family" members with a sinister agenda to ensure their supernatural survival. Tyro director Lis Fies deftly blends the tragic with the outrageous, painting her feminist motion picture with a bloody, psycho-sexual brush. Haunting imagery and symbolism underscore the horror of entrapment, sacrifice and familial dysfunction as Jenny (Chauntal Lewis) confronts the evil that is her father (Stuart G. Bennett) and his new family. THE COMMUNE is uncomfortable in the best possible way -- igniting revulsion -- but forcing you to keep watching as its sordid tale unfolds."
- Bill Cunningham, The Mad Pulp Bastard

"What The Wicker Man remake should have been if it had any balls. A creepy insight into the dangers of religious extremism and the control of female sexuality. Beautiful, haunting, but relatable and terrifying."
- Heidi Martinuzzi, Pretty/Scary

"THE COMMUNE recalls the golden age of 1970’s filmmaking with its tawny subversiveness and silken grindhouse texture. Fies works with a dreamy unease and subtle power. The true horror of the piece does not kick in until the final moments, but Fies rewards the patient among us with quirky characterizations, bizarre encounters and intense sexuality."

Much like Lana Turner in 1941’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Chauntal Lewis supplies (a slightly petulant) angelic glow as Jenny. Lewis uncovers the layers of Jenny’s dreamy adolescence and its visible cracks and she is well met by David Lago’s sexy, Goth friendly Puck. The tender eroticism the two elicit is well contrasted by the dark contrivances of co-stars Stuart G. Bennett and Adrian Lee, as Jenny’s forceful father and his quirky commune muse."
- Brian Kirst, The Horror Society

"Fresh and frightening. Loved it. Superb directing; really right on. Jenny and Puck had great chemistry. A cult film: innovative and wonderfully complex.
- Tasha Hardy, producer, STAR TREK: NEW VOYAGES
winner TV Guide Award, Hugo nomination

"Classic storytelling of a difficult and important subject; told with grace, class, and intelligence."
- Michael Conley, President, Conley Communications

"THE COMMUNE takes hold of you in the first few minutes with its jaw-dropping opening and then refuses to let you
go. Chauntal Lewis has definitely made a fan out of me with her strong yet vulnerable performance. This movie does not
disappoint for any horror fans who are looking for an entertaining plot, engaging style and a good scare. I expect to see much more from Lis Fies after this one."
- Brea Grant, actor HEROES, HALLOWEEN 2 (and comic writer!)

Mother effin' PISTOLERAS

First Place in CREATIVE SCREENWRITING MAGAZINE's screenwriting contest; Thriller Category
Second Place in FADE IN MAGAZINE's screenwriting contest; Action Category:

This is not another teen movie. PISTOLERAS delivers a knockout female empowerment message--its heroines make Charlie's Angels look like the Girl Scouts."
-Erin Torneo, co-author, The Bridal Wave

Comic Artist Charles Yoakum:

Netflix CONVENTIONEERS

I am a producer-writer-director in Hollywood. MA in Media Studies, alumna of the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting. President & CEO Shero Media Inc.

I give voice to underdogs and rebels. My specialties are thriller/horror and super heroes.

And apparently I amuse you. Like a clown. A busty, witty, giggling while I bust-yo-head-in Joe Pesci clown.

Are you Canadian? Can you work in Toronto? I'd hire you...
- Paul Guyot, writer/producer Judging Amy, Felicity

Lis is Gorgeous. And can write the shit out of a script!
-Brian Lubocki, screenwriter/troublemaker

You are a brilliant writer. Keep at it.
- Hal Ackerman, co-chair UCLA screenwriting

You are an outstanding writer. You have an innate ability to tap into real emotion and you infuse it all with a great wry sensibility. This is a seriously God-given gift. You really are amazing.
- Josh Greenberg, writer/producer

TOoooootally out of context and probably doesn't really mean this coolness but I adore him anyway:

For that metaphor alone, you should get an automatic staffing gig.
- John Rogers, Showrunner, Leverage

I'm not on the hunt for winning your heart, because frankly I'm spoken for. That said...I'd take a "chaste good night kiss"
from you over a night partying at the Playboy Mansion.
Any guy who wouldn't isn't worth your time. And a quick PS from the Catwoman discussion and again pardon my language: Fuck Angelina Jolie! You're the real deal.
- Marty "Awesome" Nozz, comic writer

I was having a difficult and frustrating morning... and you just blew all the bad stuff away! Thanks - that was perfect!
- Jen Fallon, My charming Prague guide, and friend since I was four.

You, my darling, are a writer. Bolded. You painted such a gorgeous picture, it brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for you that you could have that experience. And fishies are fishies. When they happen, what else can you do?
- Amanda, longtime reader

Right Amanda??!? What else could I do?? I'd waited to kiss someone I cared about for over a year...

LOOKING FOR AN EXCEPTIONAL HUMAN BEING: Big-hearted adventurer needs a fun partner in crime to see the world...

MY PERSONAL AD: Waiting for my king to find me...I'm ready to love someone who loves me back. I'm ready to wake up in the morning next to that person, make him my best friend, and have fun with him for the rest of my life! :)

Not sure at all about making kids with him (I'd need a lot of help from him and money to do this without losing myself); do want to make art, a warm loving commitment, and see as many countries as possible. Have to test all those local sinful dishes and see if being held in his strong arms feels different in each time zone!

And yes, I still haven't pole danced or lap danced for my man, and can't freaking wait to!

I've travelled to Italy, Spain, Japan, France, England, Ireland, The Bahamas, Czech Republic, Mexico, Hawaii, and many US states (Not all yet. Road trip, anyone?). My favorite cities
are NYC, Paris, Florence, Rome, Glastonbury, San Diego, London, Ashland.

Road trip, anyone?

Lis is a talented writer whose sense of humor lightens even the darkest situation. She does effortlessly what we all strive to do: create a truly honest blog. And those breasts! Yowza!
- Todd A, authorBarry's Cherries

God bless us every one. And your womanly curves too...I'm not sure if it's because I'm "deep" and feel connected to you via your blog, or because I'm shallow and think you look hot.
Or maybe both.
- Chris, reader

Not a problem...my gift to men for making me happy is looking and smelling delightful every day to make them happy.

Cool blog and cool message.

Any company would be very very very lucky to have you.
- Suzanne Lyons, producer, Snowfall Films

I can barely teach class, Lis has me laughing so hard.
- Wendall Thomas, screenwriter, UCLA professor

The concept of "cancer rom-com" has really aroused my curiosity.
- Billy Mernit, author/UCLA professor Writing the Romantic Comedy

This is the best blog entry I've ever read -- it's so honest and spontaneousous!...You come across as sooo happy that it's quite contagious and it does come through quite authentically."
- Grace, blog reader

(Re: Scarlet Witch and "Amazon Women on the Moon") I knew I loved you for a reason.
- Kevin Church, comic book writer

All I have to say is I love what you've done here. The glimpses into your life are so moving and charming, I just wanted to express that to you. I admire your tenactiy, your
bravery in everything you've experienced and all that you do. I am a fellow struggling screenwriter...Keep writing.
- The American Knight, comic & screenwriter

Love your blog...it's been a more-than-worthwhile read. Sometimes you make me laugh, sometimes you kick up old emotions about going through a very similar parental thing a
few years back, and sometimes you just leave me reflective overall, but it's always a neat stop along the information superhighway.
- Mark Waid, comic legend. Really. Look him up, bitch.

I think you are great. I cry when I describe how PISTOLERAS is going to change the world.
- Colleen Foy, actress, THERE WILL BE BLOOD

You're not man-hating fascists. You're man-hating libertarians with a strong belief in the social contract. And for that, I will fall willingly under your spell when you rule the
Earth under Pax Gynecologia. Damn, being a wingnut is hard ...
- John Rogers, Showrunner Leverage

Thanks for giving voice to this underdog ... Congratulations on your amazing site -- from the deepest emotions to the pop culture that cheers us up. I just noticed you mentioning
the Scarlet Witch and the Vision and am having flashbacks ...
- Andrew Jackson, writer/director of The Discontents

Lovely, clearly heartfelt poetry. Yet another talent.
- Raquel Monotoya, writer/English Professor

(Re: poetry) Very touching words, so touching it saddened me with emotions of which left a cold shiver running down my spine.
- Jake, reader

Enjoyed browsing your blog today...You have an impressive resume. I look forward to browsing your site for news and inspiration as I try my hand at developing some screenplays this year.
- John Parbst, Professor of English

The more we talk, the more I think I should just check your recommendations for stuff I miss in theatres on a regular basis. Our similar sensibilities frighten the bejeesus out of me.
- Mark Melo, Lawyer/film buff

Innovative, sassy and flexible are the qualities both Lis and her new Mykita Heather (glasses) posses. Substance and style all wrapped in one lovely be-spectacled package.
- Julia Gogosha, eyewear stylist to the stars

Kid Sis in Hollywood was interesting, well written and had a great community feel to it.
- Otis Frampton, writer/comic artist Oddly Normal

Looks like "The Commune" is going 2 be great. Read your blog. With your smile, I can not believe you are a rabble-rouser. Congrats on awards.
- Dave Szymusiak, film producer

That's a lovely blog!
- Barbara Stepansky, Emmy-winning Director

Way to kick ass at the Screenwriting Expo last night. You blew the other winners away as a talent to keep an eye on. Rock on!
- Heidi Hornbacher, Producer, award-winning screenwriter

I've enjoyed reading your blog...yours is full of insightful, entertaining stuff.
- Tim Albaugh, writer/producer/professor

Got to read your script (PISTOLERAS) and the one thing that stood out for me is that it's just a lot of fun. Your style is very engaging. I kept thinking in the back of mind - DEATHPROOF. Your film seems to have all the right ingredients.You just need to attach some of the hottest film/TV gals in the biz and you got yourself a movie...
- Sam Feur, producer, Sixth Sense Productions

Oh, Kid Sis, you're so seriously seriously cool...
I've been following your blog and your mom's for months now. I have tremendous admiration for all of you,
especially for your all's willingness to be so open about what's going on. Thank you all for that - it's a very, very important thing you all are doing.
- Cookie

You want to be Wonder Woman and be able to catch your mother before she falls and lift her over your head if you have to. We all wish we had the power to save the ones we love from pain and jeopardy, but we aren't superheroes.
We're just doing the best we can...One of the most enlightening things I've discovered from your blog and from the comic, is that families dealing with cancer still have to deal with being a family and all the family dynamics that were there before the cancer...But it's comforting to know that every-day human beings can keep on going.
- Dave Anaxagoras, screenwriter, scribosphere original

We are huge fans of Kid Sis In Hollywood and would greatly appreciate your opinions on our play, our work.
- Post Fact Productions

I wish you and mom all the best in getting through this. I don't think I've ever felt as strongly about two people I've never even met...The bravery your family has shown throughout the difficulties you've been through has astounded me.
- Patrick

It's inspiring to me to read your posts of the life you have down in L.A. School, writing, partying and full time caregiver. Even when we worked together, you've always pulled more then your fair share of the burden. I think in most people's eyes you are that superhero who fights not to save herself, but everyone else in the city. So for everyone who needs your help; keep up the good fight!
- iCustomer

Wow, that is really scary. I am really afraid of my grandma having problems like this. My mom is in a similar situation and even moved 2 1/2 hours into the middle of nowhere so that she could take care of my grandmother who was diagnosed last year. I can only imagine how much of a struggle it is seeing as you are much younger than my mother and are just starting to find your own path. I wish you luck in finding a workable balance between the
two.
- Shan'chelle, RIP

Why the name? I was browsing the San Diego Reader - the weekly arts/entertainment/happenings newsprint book - and was grabbed by the cover one week. It was a 60 panel-or-so preview of a new comic called Mom's Cancer. This story describes the trials that a family of four went through when their matriarch developed cancer after a long history of smoking.
- SD ReaderMan

Do you know how much I enjoy reading your blog? Can't even tell you! It's wonderful. Your honesty is wonderful. Your stories are wonderful...

It's not like you haven't had offers recently -- men doggedly pursuing you like you was a open can o' puppy chow, grrl -- but I think you've been right to go it alone until you're really ready to look around. If you think about it (glass half full),
you've made a *choice* to take some time off the dating game so that you could focus on your family and your blossoming new career. And then you'll be ready when you meet the right person. I think it's brave.
- NN

Great Blog and going to work my way through it.
- Ted

Just wanted you to know your Calliope stories have touched
me. What a beautiful transition you arranged for her...Liz, I'm so honored to be mentioned in a KidSis post! I've now read your archives and it's great to be caught up. I feel like I know you, somehow.
- Melody

I love this blog (one of my daily visits).
- Chad

It's amazing what you have been up to these past couple of years. The blog page, the comic, the hero dog, the new websites, the screenplay, the book. Wow! I think it's wonderful what you are doing. Very impressive. Your
passion has lead you far. Your whole family!! It's truly wonderful.
- Joe Towne, Actor/Filmmaker

Wait, are you me, in some parallel universe? Because I can't believe there's someone else out there whose dated THAT GUY. (And grown up with THAT PARENT, when it comes right down to it. Anyway.)

I guess if I have to have these issues, at least I can be thankful they're similar enough to yours that I can read the insights on your blog, and save a little cash on therapy.
- Naomi, reader and spec screenwriter

You have a really good blog. I wish I could write as well as you do.

I think you add something very valuable to Mom's story; and I also very much like reading Sis's own storyAre you doing something valuable? Yes. The comments are the proof of that.
