Leandro Reis

The world around me always made more sense through stories, which motivated me to tell stories myself using moving images. Usually, my stories are weird ones because weird things incite my curiosity.

I started my career as a production assistant, worked as a writer for cultural vehicles, and as a filmmaker directing live music sessions and video clips, in addition to directing the short film "HALA - We Are Here", a documentary launched exclusively by Red Bull Music Brazil. I was one of the winners of the screenplay competition promoted by FRAPA (Latin America's biggest screenwriting competition) in 2014 and one of the semifinalists in 2022. Today, I am part of one of the script development groups at the cultural center Projeto Marieta (São Paulo, Brazil), in addition to working on the feature film "O Nome é Billy Rei", a hybrid of fiction and documentary starring Brazilian actors Bianca Comparato, Lourenço Mutarelli, Michel Melamed, Natália Lage, and Zécarlos Machado.

I graduated in Television Production and post-graduated in Film. I also have a degree in Dramatic Arts; currently, I continue my training as an actor at the London-based school Identity School of Acting.
