My name is Lizz Lyons and I am a filmmaker from NYU-Tisch Asia in Singapore. I have been cosplaying at Otakon and Comic Con NY for the past 8 years and am now here in Singapore for grad school! I am currently casting for my next short film: "King Con!!" and am looking for as many cosplayers as possible to play both lead and secondary roles!
