Leonardo is a European filmmaker, born and raised in Germany to Italian and Greek parents. Moving between cultures from an early age, he developed a strong observational voice shaped by diverse social and linguistic environments.

His work is sensory and poetic, grounded in realism. His films explore questions of identity, often searching for the subtle, shared elements that connect human experience across cultures.

In June 2023, his short film Il Fait Beau premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York, followed by selections at the Oscar-qualifying LA Shorts International Film Festival and HollyShorts in Los Angeles.

His debut feature film Of Love and Demons, produced by East End Film and UMedia, is currently in post-production. The project is supported by MFG Film Fund Baden-Württemberg and the German broadcaster SWR.

He is currently developing several feature film projects. Among them, the Italian feature Dogs and Lizards, winner of the pitch competition at the New Horizons Film Festival (Wrocław) and the Daazo Pitch at Cannes, where it was featured in Daazo Magazine. The project is actively seeking international collaborators.

In parallel, he is developing the US-based feature The Forgotten and is currently seeking management and agency representation to support its development and packaging.

Alongside his filmmaking work, Leonardo is seeking international commercial representation.
