Lee Sentes
Lee Sentes
Writer, Co-producer
Lee is a Wellington based writer who scribbles out pulp at lunchtime and after work. Many of Lee’s stories are speculative fiction asking the age old question “what it?”. For example, The Lake asks: “what if a person could avoid their guilt by storing it away in a sentient lake?”. Naturally this is something we have all wondered from time to time. Perhaps this movie shows the answer.
