About Leah
I'm an award winning filmmaker with a B.F.A in film and television from the Savannah College of art and Design. My focus was in Producing and Screenwriting, but I also studied editing techniques. My short film "The Scarecrow" has been screened at over 30 film festivals around the world including the United States, Canada, Italy, India, Japan and the United Kingdom. I have other written works that have been official selections, semi finalists, and finalists at several writing festivals and Competitions.
I am a creative, outgoing, perceptive and resourceful woman that learns fast and is quick on her feet and makes the best our of any situation. I tell everyone, give me rags I'll come back with a gown. I have ambition to excel in my career and hone my skills as a creator and grow a person. I know I am a hard worker that always goes above and beyond for her team.
