Lisa Soper’s new cinematic venture: ‘Remind Me’
A new chapter in Lisa Soper’s career
Lisa Soper, celebrated for her exceptional production design on shows like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Peacemaker, has been making waves in the TV directing world with projects such as Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin and Riverdale. Now, she is set to direct her second feature film, Remind Me, which is currently in pre-production.
Star-studded cast
Leading the cast of Remind Me is Eric Johnson, known for his roles in the Fifty Shades franchise, Smallville, and Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin. Joining him is WWE wrestling legend Adam Copeland, better known as Edge, who has recently transitioned into acting with a role in the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Behind the scenes
The screenplay for Remind Me was penned by Andrew Rai Berzins. The production team includes Shane Boucher of 1Department Entertainment Services Inc., Eric Johnson of Process Entertainment, and Soper’s own company, Dixii Darkmagic Productions.
A director’s vision
“This film isn’t safe,” Soper remarked. “Sure, you can look at some major points and say, ‘guy defends house from intruders while suffering from memory loss.’ These are facts, but not the feels. I want you to feel what I feel when I read this and feel how I feel while making this.”
Filming location and schedule
Remind Me is set to be filmed in early 2025 in Ottawa. This project is described as a “significant milestone in Soper’s career,” marking her continued evolution as a filmmaker.
Previous works and accolades
Soper previously directed the acclaimed short film, Have a Good Day, which has been showcased at numerous film festivals. The film received nominations for best monsters and best cinematography at the Chicago Horror Film Festival, best actress and a win for best cinematography at the Romford Film Festival, and a nomination for best horror at the Apex Film Festival. It was also selected for several other festivals, including the Fortean Film Festival, Gencon Film Festival, and MegaFlix Film Festival.
