When Making A Movie Truly Turns Into A Cinderella Story Lisa Cheek Author Of Sit Cinderella Sit

Sometimes life needs just a little push. Such as when 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 Rober 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. In her new book, SIT, CINDERELLA, SIT: A Mostly True Memoir, readers can follow Lisa as she worked to put it all together throughout ancient locations in extremely rustic and remote villages near the Tibetan Border. Meanwhile, missing her beloved terrier back home, Lisa rescued two dogs – one an abandoned puppy, and the other an abused dog she named Cinderella. A true story about a lonely woman who came into her own will appeal to animals lovers and anyone who appreciates the satisfaction of a hard earned happily-ever-after.
