On the opposite end of the spectrum Leonard has just completed one of his most challenging films as a director and editor entitled, Under the Umbrella Tree. This film, produced by Louis A. Picard and Pauline Greenlick is a completely true-to-life documentary film that takes place in Uganda. The film is a window into the life of Victoria Nalongo Namusisi, a woman who took it upon herself to single-handedly intervene into the lives of desperate street children who had no place to go and no one to care for them. Since 2000, she has brought over 100 children into her own home who had been abandoned by their own parents because of poverty, HIV/AIDS, death due to civil war, and may other difficult situations. Over 95% of these children would have died without Victoria’s love and commitment to life.

Leonard and associates Louis A. Picard and Pauline Greenlick recently completed a new film dealing with gender violence Unveiling the Scars. This fifteen minute documentary, filmed on location in Uganda, follows the journey of acid attack survivors and their recovery. Leonard was the director and editor on this inspiring film.

Leonard has been a guest at many horror and pop culture shows throughout the United States, Germany and the UK.
