莉萨·奥特（Lee）是一位来自瑞士的动画导演，现居伦敦。Ta在九年前为了电影事业移居英国，并在这一过程中爱上了定格动画。
Lee曾学习模型制作，之后加入了“Mackinnon & Saunders”的木偶团队，通过制作木偶为别人的故事注入生命。近年来，ta参与了多部项目的制作，包括荣获奥斯卡与英国电影学院奖的《吉尔莫·德尔·托罗的匹诺曹》，以及网飞出品的《房子》。
希望更多LGBTQIA+的故事能出现在动画中，Lee决定投身导演工作，于是进入英国国立电影电视学院学习动画导演课程。在那里，Lee遇到了志同道合的创作者，并执导了ta们的定格动画短片首作《变装狐狸》。
Lee的作品始终关注“归属”这一主题，以及ta在乡下农村作为酷儿的成长经历，同时也赞美LGBTQ+群体内部的多样性与差异。

Lisa ‘Lee’ Ott is a Swiss animation director based in London. They moved to the UK nine years ago to pursue a career in film and fell in love with stop-motion in the process.
Lee studied Model Making before joining the puppet team at Mackinnon & Saunders, helping to create puppets to bring other people’s stories to life. Most recently, they worked on projects like Oscar- and BAFTA-winning Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio and Netflix’s The House.
Due to their wish to see more LGBTQIA+ stories being told in animation, they decided to take the leap into directing by attending the Directing Animation course at the National Film and Television School. There, Lee was able to find like-minded creatives and directed their debut stop-motion short, Dragfox.
Lee’s work consistently deals with themes of belonging and their experience of growing up queer in a rural farming village, as well as a celebration of the differences within the LGBTQ+ community.

借由变装狐狸——一位宛如仙女教母般的变装皇后——的飘逸与超凡，创作团队希望编织出一则关于自我探索与接纳的故事，呼应着ta们各自生命中那位充满骄傲力量的导师所带来的深刻影响。变装狐狸象征着那股指引团队成员度过各自LGBTQ+旅程的精神力量——一座赋权的灯塔。

With the ethereal presence of Dragfox, a fairy godMOTHER-esque drag queen, the creative team aimed to weave a tale of self-exploration and acceptance, mirroring the transformative impact of their own prideful mentor. Dragfox embodies the spirit that guided the team through their LGBTQ+ journeys—a beacon of empowerment.
