Leo is committed to telling stories that are often overlooked in mainstream media. With a focus on queer narratives, Leo brings a fresh perspective to every project he works on. Leo has always been drawn to stories that challenge the status quo and push boundaries.
His style is inspired the philosophy of Roland Barthes, 'to capture the essence of a moment', sweeping epic's like 'The Stormlight Archive', and cinematic masterpieces like Gore Verbinski's 'Rango'.
