Lissa Neptuno is an Asian-Canadian actor, writer and producer who was born in Brunei and raised in Western Canada. Growing up in a creative household, she first discovered writing and imitating cartoon voices as a way to express herself, and was soon drawn to acting and drama classes in high school. Upon graduation she was awarded a scholarship to go to acting school and after graduating that program entered into one of Western Canada's most prestigious acting schools, Studio 58, the only conservatory program in the region. Since graduating, her training and experience in both theatre and film has brought her to Toronto and Berlin, and all over BC. In 2015 she co-produced the play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, and has been producing ever since. When Covid-19 struck in March 2020 she was inspired to write Day 60, in response to violence against Asians in Canada and around the world. Working in film, television, stage, and print ads, Lissa has since been awarded Best Performance for her lead role in Small Bites, a film featured in the Mighty Asian Moviemaking Marathon for the Vancouver Asian Film Festival. Currently based in Vancouver BC, Canada, she continues to pursue her dreams of being the next great stage and film actor.
