After graduating with an MFA Advanced Film Practice in 2007, Lili set up North Isle Productions with fellow MFA graduate Paul Gray. Their documentaries Skeins and Half Way Home premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2008, and Half Way Home has since been sold to SBS Australia. Since 2007 Lili has specialised in medical documentaries, most recently producing Brain Degeneration, an educational film on the science of neurodegeneration for European distribution. Outside of corporate work Lili freelances as a production manager and her credits include a feature-length science documentary on stem cells, The Great Flood by MFA Film Directing graduate Marcelo de Oliveira and MFA graduation film Paper Planes produced by Julie McIntosh.
