Throughout high school, Leo was a prolific submitter of top tier content, consistently producing a diverse array of stories focused on subjects and characters entrenched in highly personal, but instantly universal conflicts. His films always earned high scores from our judges, regardless of genre, because he possessed an innate understanding of how to focus his lens on the little details that help illuminate a larger, more complex journey. Leo’s work as a director and editor is deceptively (and refreshingly) simple: A closer look reveals a sharp sense for sharing the elements of film (symbols, lighting, angles, and edits) without losing sight of the marrow of the story - well-developed, compelling characters. His timely 2015 Documentary, “Clipped Wings” has garnered high praise and hundreds of thousands of views for its spotlight on the Boy Scouts discrimination of gay members and his 2015 Drama, “Stolen” explores the tragic collision of an elderly couple and a thief, and the power of circumstance to reveal the complexities of motivation, grief, and revenge.

Since moving on from All American, Leo’s talents have continued to thrive, he has continued to embrace a wide variety of genres and he has continued to stay true to his personal style. In Leo’s films, we are invited into the world of his subjects and characters - walking in their shoes and seeing through their eyes, all en route to their awakening and our own transformative experience as viewers.
