National Geographic Forces Of Nature Biography
With over 20 years of experience at National Geographic, Lisa Truitt, president of National Geographic Cinema Ventures, is responsible for National Geographic's theatrical distribution business, as well as production of its nonfiction theatrical films, including giant-screen, 3-D, 4-D and feature documentaries, which are among the biggest-budget, highest-profile products produced by National Geographic Entertainment.
Truitt produced National Geographic's first foray into the giant-screen world — the box-office hit "Mysteries of Egypt." Since its release in 1998, "Mysteries of Egypt" has ranked as the highest-grossing film (giant-screen or standard feature) on a per-screen basis worldwide. It was ranked the top giant-screen film for most of 1999 and has grossed more than $107 million to date. Truitt also produced "Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West," National Geographic's giant-screen film chronicling the adventures of the Lewis and Clark expedition, which debuted in spring 2002 to positive reviews and a box-office gross thus far of nearly $40 million. Truitt served as executive producer for "Lions 3D: Roar of the Kalahari" and "Forces of Nature" and most recently as producer of "Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure."
In 2006 Truitt opened an in-house theatrical distribution unit, which launched its first films in 2007 — "Lions 3D" and "Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure" for both 2-D and 3-D screens. In January 2008 National Geographic Cinema Ventures launched the top concert film of year, "U2 3D," a visionary film showcasing cutting-edge technology and the performance of the band U2. The film went global in both digital 3-D and 3-D giant-screen theaters worldwide. Truitt's team is currently handling distribution and marketing for the films "Amreeka," which released in September 2009, and "Restrepo" and "Wildest Dreams," both 2010 releases.
Prior to working in giant-screen, Truitt produced and directed many popular films for television and served as writer and cinematographer for several of them. Her adventures in filmmaking have led her to some of the most remote places on Earth. For the NBC Special "Arctic Kingdom: Life at the Edge," she spent three summers camped on the Arctic sea ice, producing an Emmy Award winner.
For National Geographic EXPLORER, she ventured into the deep jungles of Brazil for "Amazon Bronze"; the clear, warm waters of the Cayman Islands for the Emmy Award winner "Dancing With Stingrays"; and the savannas of Kenya, Zimbabwe and South Africa for "Africa: Playing God With Nature?", which won the Gold Hugo Award from the Chicago International Film Festival.
Now based in Washington, D.C., with her husband and two children, Truitt lived and worked in Egypt in 1998 and 1999. A native of Los Altos, Calif., she graduated from Stanford University, where she received her degree with distinction in human biology.
