My name is Lyric Weiss, and I’m a writer / director. My mission in life is to reflect life and the human experience in my work through an empathetic lens. The purpose of this work is to give back what watching my favorite films has given me; a sense of comfort and an inspired sense of understanding for the human condition. The primary reason for this, is that I believe us as human beings are wired for connection, and it is my core belief that the more connected we feel to each other and the world around us, the more inspired and driven we are to take care of our world and each other. While there are forces that drive us to greed and vilification, I feel it is my calling in this world to counterbalance these forces and inspire others to be their best selves. A major way I strive to do this in my work is to build and recite my understandings of human emotion and their individual experiences in my work.
I hope to make films and send them to international film festival circuits to compete for awards, not for the sake of winning, but for the sake of the game. It would be my honor some day to travel around the world making this goal a reality, and meet like-minded artists in the process. If I could chose one consistent message throughout the work I plan to make in my lifetime, it would be to encourage others to turn inward despite your fears, and understand yourself and all your flaws, and there you will find the life you desire. To echo a famous quote,” everything you want is just on the other side of fear.”
