In fall 2024, Lisa was a guest along with Mallory Lewis to discuss the documentary, Shari and Lamb Chop. Highlights include Lisa's journey from acting to filmmaking - shorts and feature length and her passion to tell the life stories of women whose accomplishments and impact have been overlooked. Also, Lisa reflects on Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolf, Bill Hader and Melissa McCarthy expressions of awe and sanctity when reading Gilda's journals and writings for the film. Lisa and Cynthia also discuss how Lisa built trust with Gilda's friends and family to obtain access to preserved tapes and documents, as well as archiving and preservation that goes into transferring from those personal collections.
