"As a director, Lisa Datz fires on all cylinders, subtly shading our performances, and allowing space for all of the departments to do their best work. She knows how to get the best out of everyone, manages time, and can swing from the technical to the emotional like a seasoned pro. This enormous capability comes down to one genuine superpower: her complete and utter presence. It marks her work as an actor, a director, and more fundamentally, defines her as a person."

- Silas Weir Mitchell, Actor GRIMM (NBC), PRISON BREAK (FOX), PARADISE LOST (Spectrum), LIFE OF RILEY
