Lila Yomtoob is an aging young upstart. Lila started making video at age 16. Needless to say, she persisted. At the tender age of 25, she directed her first feature film, "High Life," which premiered at San Francisco Indiefest in 2005. Variety called "High Life " "perfectly honed" and "razor sharp." In 2006, she received an Emmy Award for sound editing on the HBO documentary "Baghdad ER." Lila has been working in post- production sound since 1999, and has had the pleasure of working on films such as “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” “The Man Who Wasn’t There,” “Door in the Floor,” “The Notorious Bettie Page,” and “Fur.” 2006 was an action packed year - she was also on the screening committee for the Brooklyn International Film Festival. In 2007, she is the first video artist at The San Mateo Video Blogger in Residence Program. Yomtoob is currently writing her second feature film, and looks forward to the future. In her spare time, Ms. Yomtoob daydreams about starting an angora bunny farm. She is a graduate of NYU film school.
