Liz Cane is an independent filmmaker based in Los Angeles, California. She grew up in Northern California during the '70's and '80's, surrounded by
political activists, hippies, schizophrenics and bra burners. Her
parents stood before bull-dozers (to protect low-income housing) and
demonstrated against the war in Vietnam. As a little girl, Liz was
convinced the government was spying on her because she was gifted, and
they were doing research on her. She has always been fascinated with
the intersection of fantasy and reality, a theme which often finds its
way into her films.
Liz's films have aired nationally on PBS, won awards and screened in
festivals around the world. She makes both narrative and documentary
films that explore love, sex, taboos, friendship, delusion and death.
Liz teaches filmmaking at the University of California, Irvine, and is
preparing for her first feature film.
