Born storyteller, proud northerner and Student Academy Award Winner, Lisa Kenney is a director/animator with something to say. With comedy at the core of her practice, she strives to tell authentic, grounded and gritty stories with integrity and wit – pushing the boundaries of what animation can be in a bid to represent characters that might not have gotten a look in otherwise.

Since graduating from the National Film and Television School in March 2023 where she was awarded the accolade of Most Promising Student, Lisa has enjoyed several award wins on the festival circuit; including a student Oscar, a student BAFTA semi-finalist place and Best Animation at Sunderland Shorts Film Festival. She’s currently developing her first live action short for BBC Film – and has recently signed with LA based management company, The Gotham Group.
