Lisa Regina
Our producing team is dedicated to creating content that explores and shares the diverse and real stories of survivors of violence and the traumatic experiences of war. Our team leader is Lisa Regina, a survivor, actress and advocate. In 2006, Lisa founded her nonprofit, A Write to Heal. http://awritetoheal.org/ and dedicated years to the YWCA as a keynote speaker and advocate for domestic violence survivors. Over the past 12 years, Lisa has documented interviews with military men and women of all branches of service and all wars in order to honor and give voice to their true stories.
Most importantly, the connection between Lisa and other trauma survivors has grown into a deep bond that has revealed, trauma is trauma. The one on one interviews have offered Lisa insight into the lives of our Veterans, providing realistic and powerful content for the writing of the characters and the storylines in her series, Heroic Episodes. Learning about the hardships military men and women often face, Lisa also created the VFA-the Veterans Film Apprenticeship and the VDTP-Veterans Drone Training Program. The VFA provides veterans training and job opportunities in the film and aviation industry and the VDTP offers veterans training and testing to become a Part 107 Commercial Drone Pilot. https://awritetoheal.com/programs
The Heroic Episodes team includes military consultants who are dedicated to the series and who bring authenticity to the writing of each episode. We are deeply grateful to have our Veterans as part of our production team. We respect and value each and every Veteran who has served and sacrificed for our freedom and for our country.
Lisa's story and her ability to build trust enables other survivors to open up and share their stories. This process is empowering and often healing for trauma survivors. It also provides engaging content with characters that are rich and relatable. The stories are inspiring, while others share their struggles and pain. With the guidance of advocates, counselors and military consultants, Heroic Episodes is able to provide a platform to trauma survivors, who have a strong desire to have their stories told in an ongoing series.
The camaraderie of our production team allows our individual talents to emerge and create content of integrity and grit.
