Then, she “aged out” of advertising, at 45. After being let go, Lisa got a call—at 2:45 AM—from a director who, like everyone in Hollywood, had a film he wanted to make: the original Cinderella story. Now, his dream could come true—if Lisa granted his wish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n In \u003ci\u003eSit, Cinderella, Sit\u003c\/i\u003e, Lisa Cheek shares her adventures in editing a film made on location in China—along the Tibetan border—where Mandarin was the only language spoken by everyone but her. Stuck in a house with fourteen men she couldn’t understand, literally, she yearned for conversation and coffee.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n But there were moments of wonder and laughter. Lisa forged a bond with her translator and a woman named Sunny. She rescued one dog, and then another. “Everyone speaks Cinderella,” the director had assured her. Maybe he was right.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Told with humor and heart through a fairy tale lens, with flashbacks into the author’s not-always-happy childhood, \u003ci\u003eSit, Cinderella, Sit \u003c\/i\u003eis a story about what can happen when you take a leap of faith, look and hear beyond people’s differences, and dare to believe in yourself.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47922831294622,"sku":"ING-9781647427283","price":25.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781647427283.jpg?v=1782891946","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781647427283","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
