NEW RELEASE

I am very excited to present the trailer for my new web series THE INCREDIBLE L.I.P.S. (aka The Incredible League of Incredibly Practical SuperbHeroes.) It's about a group of broke girls who enlist in an experimental drug trial for birth control and one of the side effects happens to be superpowers. However, despite their superhuman abilities in science and finance and law, they continue to bang their heads against the glass ceiling of a failing job market. 

I had no idea when we shot this series how timely this concept of female empowerment through reproductive rights would be in the 2020s, but it turns out this series is relevant now more than ever.

We had the most incredibly superb diverse cast and crew working on this and I'm so proud of everyone. Check out the trailer below and stay tuned for the series coming this summer!

Kristen is a writer and filmmaker who tells gritty revolutionary stories with a bit of sparkle. Her interest in International Development led her to Sierra Leone to make a documentary about post-conflict development. She founded the production company Element 109 to make films that shed light on mental illness, civil rights, and social justice. ​

 

Her drama feature script, REVOLUTIONARY MEDICINE, recently came 2nd at the Slamdance Screenplay Competition. Her short film, LENNY, was nominated for Best Canadian Short Film at the Canadian Screen Award qualifying Oakville Film Festival, and her short film, FROM SARAJEVO, was acquired for broadcast by the CBC.

 

Her greatest obsession is her beagle Pawlie, who has a recurring role as the Zombeagle in Kristen’s comedy web series, THE INCREDIBLE L.I.P.S.

WHAT'S WITH ELEMENT 109?

SEMI-FINALIST - Screencraft Film Fund -

Element 109 on the Periodic Table is Meitnerium, named after groundbreaking Physicist Lise Meitner who helped pave the way for women in science. Unfortunately, she had to spend much of her career escaping Nazi occupied Europe.

 

She also lost popularity among her peers when she spoke out against the scientific community's contributions to the Nazi regime. Her headstone reads "A physicist who never lost her humanity".

 

Element 109 is in honor of Lise Meitner.
