Lisa Wang is a Melbourne-based screen producer and the founder of Screen Presence, a not-for-profit initiative supporting and amplifying Asian Australian voices in the screen industry.

With more than 30 years’ experience across television and feature films, Lisa has worked with Australia’s leading independent production companies and international broadcasters across the UK, USA and Europe. She began her career as a production accountant on the iconic ABC series Frontline before moving through special effects and the art department into production management, line producing and producing across both scripted and documentary projects.

Her producing credits include the ABC comedy White Fever (2024), the acclaimed feature Late Night with the Devil (2023), and Josh Thomas’s Please Like Me (ABC/Pivot/Hulu/Netflix). She has also produced award-winning documentaries including Monsieur Mayonnaise (MIFF 2016, Berlinale 2017) and Chef Antonio’s Recipes for Revolution (MIFF 2021). Earlier in her career she wrote, directed and produced Reunion (SBS), which screened at IDFA Amsterdam, and P.S. I Love You (ABC).

Lisa is also Director of Screen at the Chinese Museum and director of Black Sheep Films, the production company founded by her late husband Andrew McVitty. Her current documentary, Digby & Camille (co-directed by Digby Webster and Trevor Graham), will premiere at MIFF 2026.

Through Screen Presence, Lisa focuses on practical pathways into the industry — connecting emerging filmmakers to mentors, placements, and professional networks — with the aim of building a more inclusive and representative Australian screen culture.
