Tisa Key: Casted As A Lead For The Gun Virgins!

Tisa Key is an Actress, Writer, Director & Producer who had an interest since childhood to be an actress.Born and raised in New York City she developed several different talents at a tender young age.She studied dance and was involved in various plays while still in elementary school.Her childhood wasn't glamorous, by no means at all and that’s when she started to write.It was like therapy for her, to put all her feeling and emotions on paper.In High School her attention went to playing varsity basketball full time and she had little time to act or write.She was one of the stars of her team as well as the captain.She always displayed some kind of leadership wherever she went.Then one year she was invited to participate in the Wheelchair Basketball Classic,in which as a requirement every player had to visit a hospital,spend time with disabled children and write an essay about their experience.Needless to say Tisa Key won for best essay in Manhattan and from that moment on her writing continued.While attending college in Florida on a basketball scholarship Tisa always felt something was missing and wasn't happy.

So after two years she returned back to New York City to fulfill her dream of being an actress. She went on to do several independent films, plays, as well as commercials.Her break out commercial was introducing the sneakers for WNBA player Cheryl Swoopes and was directed by Spike Lee.Watching the way Spike was and his interactions with all the actors sparked something in Tisa and she knew that was something she could and would do soon.In 2000 she moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream.It wasn’t an easy road for Tisa but she hung in there to fulfill what she had a passion for.After working for Disney a few years and getting minor gigs here and there she decided to take matters into her own hands and started writing screenplays.Although some people didn’t believe in Tisa she never gave up no matter what!She directed and produced a few small videos, while she shopped her scripts and ideas around.After becoming frustrated and disgusted with the countless promises, limited roles for minorities, and the non willingness to give her a chance she came back to New York City to produce a horror film “Evil Has A Face” and to finally get one of her short films off the ground.“Vengeance Is Mine” is a short film written, directed, produced, and starring Tisa Key.This time she was in control of her own destiny.

“Vengeance Is Mine” was Tisa’s directorial debt. From a first time director “Vengeance Is Mine” is both gritty and surreal, with a kinetic force that grabs you from it's opening scene and carries you on a short roller coaster ride to the shocking finale.The musical score and editing are both flawless.It gave the film a Zen quality seldom experienced in short movies.For a little over eight minutes it packs a wallop.A visceral ride that sees the main character Nemina played by Tisa Key transformed by the need for vengeance. One scene in particular was so realistic while shooting it someone almost called 911.This is a powerful and controversial film that will stir emotions, and leave the viewer with a sense of awe.“Vengeance Is Mine” is the first of many to come from Tisa Key.Her goal is to take her acting and filmmaking to places no one has dared to try to explore and her time is now!And now she was casted to for a Lead role in and independent film we're shooting called "The Gun Virgins".Tisa was a hit from her first performance & with this track record will be honored & recognized for years to come!

Working On Soul Survivors! A Documentary On My Life!

Los Angeles Times Review On Film Which I'm Executive Producer!

A vivid tale of innocence lost

Behind the lurid-sounding title, "Warning!!! Pedophile Released," lies an ambitious and powerful experimental film written by its stars Kai Lanette and Shane Ryan, and directed, photographed and edited by Ryan.

It is a strikingly visual, deliberately fragmented work of evocative imagery counterpointed by a remarkably effective use of richly varied music.

Except for an occasional flashback, the film is devoid of conventional exposition as it tracks the blighted lives of a 12-year-old girl, Echo, and 18-year-old Malachi, who had formed a tender bond that has landed him in prison for six years for sexual molestation despite both insisting that it never happened.

Unfolding in three parts, the film jumps ahead to find Echo (Lanette) a 15-year-old loner wandering about a partly derelict coastal community, where she is impregnated after a gang-rape and thrown out of the house by her father. By the time she is 16, she is turning the occasional trick, doing drugs and shoplifting but surviving remarkably well, an individual of clear inner strength.

The first two parts, which have a gritty, rambling poetic quality and little dialogue, give way to an explosive final chapter in which the freshly released but unnerved and stigmatized Malachi (Ryan) returns home. Ryan tells little about this couple but reveals much of what they are about by the time the film is over. Lanette and Ryan have created a minimalist work of maximum impact.

-- Kevin Thomas "Warning!!! Pedophile Released." Unrated. Running time: 1 hour, 53 minutes. At the Grande 4-Plex, Downtown L.A.
