I first became familiar with Leah’s work (when) I saw the music video she directed, Team Queen. Soon after, I watched her Student Academy-Award nominated short Twitch, which has played in over 200 film festivals around the world and won numerous awards. Last night, I spoke with Leah about what’s going on with her feature film in development, Unicorns, and other defining moments in her young career.
