LISA CHOLODENKO began her work in film as an Assistant Editor (post-production assistant) on Boy’z in the Hood (1991) and then went on to get her MFA from Columbia.
Her first full-length film High Art (1998) featured Ally Sheedy who was part of a group of actors from the 1980s known as the “Brat Pack.” Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right (2010) about a lesbian couple’s relationship with their children’s sperm donor was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar the year after Bigelow won for Hurt Locker (2009).
