- You are the founder of Talent Image Entertainment Ltd, tell us more about this great concept?
I am the founder of Talent Image Entertainment Ltd based in London, I began the business in November 2019. I started in the industry as a model in 2018, in 2019 t started my acting career, then I learnt a lot about the industry and after a flash mob photo-shoot in Camden, London summer of 2019, one of the models asked me for a private meeting which we arranged.
He persuaded me to start the business as I knew the industry and could help models and actors, give them advice, send castings for any to apply to what suits. I help all types of talent and have thousands of talents in my community now and have grown my Talent Agency splendidly and am very proud of all my achievements so far, representing actors, models, music artists, music producers, musicians, performers, Entertainers, film producers, directors, writers, martial artists etc. I send castings to a few of my private platforms on my social media platforms. I help get them published in a number of magazines for their talents, I am an influencer for a many magazines and have websites to get in touch with me and describing the magazines which they can be featured in.
My Talent Image Entertainment Ltd website has some of my publications, events I have attended, promotions of clients, colleagues & associates worldwide, my book, the events I have arranged around London as I am also an events manager. I attend events for business & networking and I help my clients grow their careers in the Talent industry.
- Can you tell us briefly about yourself, your family and education background?
I have lived in London all my life, growing up in the it’s and it’s was a great era, a safer time and the stories, adventures & family life is in my newly released book The Naked Truth which was released in January 2026, I arranged a book Launch event in January 2026 which was another successful event of mine, I had models, cat walking my merchandise through my guests, I had Entertainers, D.O.P filming the event and a photographer which the images and event was published in Celina Celebrity Magazine and Love Hollywood magazine.
My family life, growing up was always seeing family as much as possible, we had amazing Christmases with mountains of presents for myself, brother & sister with nans, granddads, uncles, aunties & cousins around us always but as we grow, we live our own lives and unfortunately those family meetings become less and less but 35 years ago we started a family reunion every July which we still do every year, without fail, the reunion getting bigger and bigger every year because we start our own families, we have our own kids, seeing all our kids playing together, getting their own memories and us telling old reunion stories, we take over an entire field and we have one full weekend together staying at a certain caravan sight every year.
I did quite well at school getting a few A’s and B’s and the whole school life is explained in my book The Naked Truth.
- Tell us about your journey to film production, what are your inspirations and motivations?
I was in my first speaking role feature film in 2019 with a production called ESKAY MOVIES who flew to London, Hayes to film SWASTIK SANKET which started my acting career. I played a police officer and it was my fist look into filmmaking. I was also an extra in two episodes in a London series called MADE IN CHELSEA which was a dream come true as I watched the programme religiously and knew all the characters and to meet some of them in person made me ecstatic, as you can imagine. Then I was on another TV programme called MAKE ME PRIMINISTER which aired on Channel 4.
I was then invited onto more productions to check out behind the scenes in filmmaking, got to know the secrets and knowledge of it all which got me inspired to start my own production called WITCH MANOR which you can find the trailer/shortfall on my YouTube channel “Multi Award Winning Lisa Kate T.I.E NEWS”.
I wrote the script in 2021, got casting for the characters, got D.O.P, behind the scenes photographer for promotions, we met to film, rehearse, interview and photo-shoots throughout the year and filmed the trailer in a London location. My second film HEADLESS HORROR in 2021 I was asked to create by another filmmaker called Steve Mort which I casted for and got a cameraman then an interview with my cast which you will also find on my YouTube Channel. Then the following year I did another HEADLESS HORROR I cast for and got another cameraman, also on my YouTube Channel. My third production I decided to cast for HEADLESS HORROR 3 called “The Priests Revenge” and instead of a shortfall we decided to make it a feature film which we did some filming in 2025 at a studio in London, which we are still filming. You might find some behind the scenes footage on my instagram @talentimageentertainmentltd
- What are the challenges you faced while doing this and how did you overcome them?
In film producing, there is a lot involved, not just with the organizing but keeping up with the cast & crew, directing the entire cast & crew can get overwhelming, especially with a BIG cast such as WITCH MANOR & HEADLESS HORROR 3, making sure all cast has MUA & costume has been completed and directing positions, rehearsals for cast & crew availabilities to meet for another filming or meeting.
In this industry, with BIG casts and managing the team, PATIENCE, ORGANISATION & PREPARATION let alone always technical problems will happen but there is no getting away from it when you love what you do and you are being relied on in the management role of filmmaking, you manage to deal with the situations through experience, overcoming the issues and resolving them to keep a high spirit.
- Can you talk us through the process of short films, UK soaps and drama contents you have produced or directed?
I have not directed any sitcoms or TV Dramas as yet but I have a client who is writing a sitcom at the moment called REVERSE STRUGGLES. He attended my Book Launch Event in January, Danny Ashton Lincoln even sang/rapped a couple of songs he wrote, wearing my merchandise and I got him and the event published and Danny made the front cover wearing my merchandise of CELINA CELEBRITY MAGAZINE.
The process of making short films you will need a clear and focused mind. I had to stop for long periods of months when I was going through a traumatic experience, which you can read about in my book The Naked Truth. I love the process though when I am focused, the process of writing the script, sending it out to the cast & crew which takes months to get the right applicants for the characters. Getting the cast & crew together for meetings, rehearsals & filming is very hard because if everyone’s availability but when you finally organize those days the feeling is powerful which inspires me & motocross me because the cast & crew are there for your hardworking, reliability, professionalism and the creativeness if the script and characters and when the production us complete the fun and pride you get from looking at the footage and editing it together, which I did for all my productions, the pride is worth the hard work.
- Can you mentioned few of the films you had featured and which one makes you feel so special?
All films, TV appearance and even being an extra makes you feel special but making my film WITCH MANOR, my first film and the big, talented, professional & those that travelled from great distance to come to these meetings, rehearsals, interviews & filming made me feel extremely special.
I had a guy travel from Wales, another travelled from Scotland and from all over UK to come to London to create my vision. I watch it back still and will be recasting as soon as I can. We made the trailer/shortfall years back and people disappear, decide to give up acting, get very busy in other films or just fall out but I am trying hard to get in touch with investors, crowd funding, supporters and funding charities as I was very lucky to have the cast & crew travel to meet for those meetings and work on the production for free which made the whole process even more SPECIAL.
- You are the author of Naked Truth, give us a brief about the storyline and how would you educate interested prospective young readers and publisher who may want to emulate you?
I have always wanted to write a book. My mum always said to me as a child I should write a book because my nose was always in one. At school I loved English literature & English language along with keyboarding, which in time, it’s was the only technology for typing. Computers and phones hadn’t come out yet.
I decided to write my book The Naked Truth in July 2024 because of the harassment, trauma, mental health torture and forced to move out of our home of 29 years because the authorities did absolutely nothing to help us, even the police after our door was kicked in a couple of times because nasty new neighbours had moved in and targeted me & my family, I had two of my children living with me, one had to go live with his dad because it was getting dangerous and I was struggling hard, my youngest started self-harming at the age of 3, she’s now 8 and still having nightmares and our family was broken apart and still they got away with it, no one was listening or helping us, and I thought if we are not being heard then this will be a good opportunity to be heard and hopefully help people along the way when no one within the authorities community will help and hopefully give them strength to get through it, survive and turn the negative into a positive.
- What have you got lined up next for your project?
There are a lot of events COMING UP with a number of events managers, opportunities for business, networking & magazine launches. I recently went to an event in April at Mayfair, London with PHOENIX FILMS NETWORKING and the managers of these events resend me the events to register with as VIP guest list. I feel honoured and look forward to the next few months of events.
I do want to recasting for my film WITCH MANOR as I knew it is what us in the film circuit right now, with witches, were wolves along with discovering if hidden family secrets. I am very proud of the script I wrote but funding, sponsorship and investors are needed as I am further along in my career from when I first started WITCH MANOR and the actors, D O.P’s and studio owners within my business is bigger and the technology to really make it more spectacular.
- Your business has been published many times by different media organization, Dotolive News Magazine (DNM) would like to be reporting your activities, promoting your brand, what will be your commitment supporting the media organization DNM?
I am also arranging my book launch event for later in the year for my book The Naked Truth here in London, so anyone that buys a paperback or hardcopy, I will happily sign their book if they bring it with them and my events do get Published in a number of magazines which I am ambassador & influencer for.

- Amazing memories are unforgettable; can you share with us the most amazing memory?
Every event, production, networking, collaboration & meetings are all very memorable.
I have lived every minute of the journey i dont think I can name just one unforgettable memory. I am very proud of how far I have cone and I know this career path was made for me and I have always wanted to help people and now I am …..with their careers.
Thank you.
