Lesley Dyer first came to Los Angeles from her native Australia where she was the producer of short films and music videos. She was a graduate student at the Australian Film, Television, and Radio School and originally came for three months as an exchange student to the Producers program at UCLA. Loving Los Angeles, she completed the two-year program and worked as a manager for Chic Productions and Management where she represented Carl Pfirman after seeing his Student Academy Award winning short The Confession at the UCLA Spotlight Awards. They started working intensely together on a number of projects, including For a Good Cause. Missing production, Lesley started working with director Katja von Garnier on her film Iron Jawed Angels, while she and Carl continued to develop projects to produce and direct together. For a Good Cause is the first script they have completed together.
