Lisa Rose Snow is a Canadian Screen Award-winning director, writer, and creator passionate about stories that raise the vibration. Known as an actor’s director with strong visual style, her heart-forward work takes audiences on an emotional journey, often through a lens of wit and dark humour.

Through her groundbreaking projects that smash stereotypes, she continues to make a mark on the film industry. She won Best Direction TV Movie at the 2023 Canadian Screen Awards for the trailblazing UNDER THE CHRISTMAS TREE, which also received a GLAAD Award nomination. In the same year she received a CSA Nomination for Best Writing for DETENTION ADVENTURE, winner of Best Youth Series. LRS also received the 2023 Directors Guild of Canada Award for Outstanding Direction in a Family Series for ODD SQUAD MOBILE UNIT which is a Daytime Emmy Winner for Outstanding Children/Family Program. In 2017, Women In View named her as one of Canada’s top 3 emerging female directors. In 2018, her writing won the Telefilm New Voices Award, and in 2013 she received a WIFT Award for Women Making Waves.

LRS directs and writes for companies including Netflix, HBO Max, Prime, ABC, Lifetime, and CBC, and her short films have played on four continents including at TIFF Kids, bringing home multiple awards including Best Canadian Short (Two Penny Road Kill), Audience Choice (When Fish Fly) and Best Music (Meet Maurice Crosby). She’s a key part of the team bringing the upcoming Harlequin Cinematic Universe to life, writing a queer romcom which is in post-production for CW/Bell.  

LRS has become a sought-after series creator, developing original work through her company Snow Drive Productions, including a teen series with Sphere Media (recipient of the Bell Slate Fund), a dramedy with Tom Lynch Co, a CMF supported paranormal procedural, a ½ hour comedy and holiday film with ByCoastal staring Madison Tevlin (the first person with Down’s syndrome to be nominated for a CSA), and a limited-series book adaptation with Balzac Productions, which was a semi-finalist in the 2024 TIFF Series Accelerator.

LRS is currently serving her 2nd term as Directors’ Caucus Rep on the Executive Board of DGC Ontario. This peer-elected position allows her to give back to the industry and support the largest group of professional directors in Canada.

As a performer, her work ranges from the theatrical (like the time she lived on a train in Germany performing with the company Das Letzte Kleinod), to indie dramas like the Grolsch Film Works Discovery Award-winning TIFF film All the Wrong Reasons, to TV's Saving Hope, Killjoys, and Haven, to name a few. 

LRS is a graduate of the Canadian Film Centre’s Screenwriting Program, the Reykjavik Film Festival Talent Lab, and the National Screen Institute’s Drama Prize Program. She is a member of the DGC, WGC, ACTRA, Equity, WIFT-T, WIFT-AT and the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television.
