ANDREA'S FAULT
LISA WILLIFORD
ANDREA
Lisa Williford began working in the film/modeling industry in Tokyo upon graduating high school. After living in Japan for 9 years, she moved to California in March of 2019. She decided to continue the same path of pursuing the expressive arts after completing her bachelor’s degree in computer science. She then signed with Marla Dell Talent a couple of months after and thus far has booked 4 short films and one feature film working alongside Raymond J. Barry. Lisa values creativity in all forms, and when she is not performing she is out throwing ceramic planters, taking photographs, or building a treehouse. Bringing complex characters like Andrea from script to screen will be a cultivating experience for Lisa to express the many layers this character will unravel throughout the film.

KAREN TORRES
ZOEY
Karen Hernandez found her passion for acting during her late teenage years. She went off to Los Medanos College of California and finished her major in Communication with a minor in Performing Arts at Saint Mary’s College of California. During those times she preformed in the plays The Underpants by Carl Sternheim as Louise, Blood Wedding by Federico Garcia Lorca as The Moon, and The Good Person of Setzuan by Bertolt Brecht in which she played a female (Shen Te) disguised as a male (Shui Ta). Her performance as Louise and Shen Te/Shui Ta led her to be twice nominated to compete at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. Shortly after graduation, Karen explored the option of studying at various colleges around the country to receive her masters. Although she received offers from 18 different colleges, she took the gamble and decided her journey as a professional actor would begin in the Bay Area. In the last two years, Karen has broadened her experience and talents. She has experience modeling for The Original Comfy (as seen on Shark Tank); print work for companies like One Hope Winery located in Napa; various commercial work for companies such as Samsung, Yahoo!, Cisco, and Curology; and she has even gotten her hands-on background work in 13 Reasons Why, Antman, and Venom. Karen is currently represented by Marla Dell Talent.

LILLY
I’m inspired by just about everything. when I’m inspired, I write, take photos, record random clips that look cool to me, act out scenes, dance, come up with stories, play dress-up, paint, and create whatever is on my mind. my biggest passion lies with the art of storytelling and telling those stories through the medium of film. I want to tell stories that are inclusive of all people and I want to tell them in their most raw and honest form. I want to make people see things from various perspectives and inform them about diverse subjects. I want people to think, understand, feel, and be influenced to do more for themselves and their communities. through my transparency, I hope to enlighten, inspire, and help people draw out creativity in their own lives no matter what area it is in.
