Lisa Reich
ScreenwriterUnfortunately, there is too often a lack of woman-power teams in the thriller, crime, horror and sci-fi genres. Lisa’s big mission is to incorporate a female perspective into her projects. She particularly loves to subtly and emotionally charge tension in order to hit the viewer on an even more fundamental level. In her job, she combines her enthusiasm for complex psychological depths, social issues and entertainment.One of her great role models is Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl, Sharp Objects), who always succeeds in putting genres with a psychological foundation and an incredibly oppressive atmosphere on paper.
With her life partner Josef Zeller, she writes as a permanent author duo on various projects in the cinema, television and streaming sectors. Anyone who works with the two gets a reliable, sophisticated and well-rehearsed writing team. Over the years, they have formed valuable partnerships with production companies and broadcasters and they plan to diligently expand this pool of “partners in crime”.
When you get to know Lisa and Josef privately, most people are surprised by the dark topics they like to deal with professionally. Because the two of them live the complete opposite program. Together with their crazy dog Pauli, they travel to numerous countries in their small van, consciously enjoying life close to nature, meeting inspiring people and happily eating their way through the most diverse menus that Europe has to offer.
