Coming out of work in the visual effects industry, Lisa Morton worked for several years with makeup effects creator Thomas R. Burman on his directorial debut, Meet the Hollowheads. The film, a quirky science fiction piece, met with difficulties in financing, distribution, and production, all of which contributed to it barely making an appearance, even on video, a form vastly different from the one intended by Morton and Burman.
Her second produced film, Adventures in Dinosaur City, met with better luck in terms of release, if not in terms of production, though headed almost instantly to video and cable.
Since 1992, Morton has worked mainly in television animation and as a playwright, with her major theatrical work being an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's Radio Free Albemuth.
