Obsessed with movies, Lisa moved from her home country the Netherlands to London at 19 to study screenwriting and has never left. She has a lot of interests such as psychology, Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad, and musicals, but none have as much of a place in her heart as movies do. You can follow her on Twitter @LisaGeurts, which she promises to update again sometime soon.
