Lisa Weber (b. 1990, Vienna) enrolled for Slavic Studies for two years in Vienna before transferring to the Vienna Film Academy in 2009. To date, she has filmed two short features: A Ray of Sunlight Enters the Freezer Compartment and Melts Everything (Kommt ein Sonnenstrahl in die Tiefkühlabteilung und weicht alles auf, 2010) and Some Twin Pop (Twinni oder so, 2012), as well as the documentary Him and Her from Here and There (Die und der von da und dort, 2011). Of her feature-length documentary debut Steadiness she says: "I would probably never have spent as much time with my grandparents, had I not been forced into it. The camera, as a way of distancing myself, helped a lot, and most of the time, I was not having fun. But during the editing sessions, my view of them changed and that felt good. My friend told me that no one is simply an asshole, when you get to know someone, you'll understand why they are the way they are."
