01-15-25-Lisa Cheek - Cinderella Book

Today we visit with film editor and author Lisa Cheek, about the her book, SIT, CINDERELLA, SIT: A Mostly True MemoirWhen Film Editor Lisa Cheek was abruptly fired from doing the work she loved, cutting television commercials. Two days later she got a call at 2:45am – from cinematographer and director Robert Owen who knew and valued her work. That call brought Lisa into the director’s vision of filming the original story of Cinderella, written in China in 768 AD, in China. But Lisa had to say yes, now, and be on location to hit the ground running in just several weeks. Thinking back to when she first saw Cinderella at the age of five, etched into her memory as, “the most magical story”, she couldn’t say no. Reality soon hit, however, when Lisa realized the film would be told entirely in Mandarin – a language she didn’t speak.SIT, CINDERELLA, SIT is available now! https://amzn.to/428dG2wLearn more about our radio program, podcast & blog at www.JohnAndHeidiShow.com
