In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Leo, a multifaceted creative who has made significant strides in the film and writing industries. From his grassroots filmmaking club to his recent short film nominations, Leo embodies audacity and creativity. Let’s dive into the highlights of our conversation.From Writing to FilmmakingLeo began his creative journey as a writer but has recently transitioned into filmmaking. He shared insights about his short film titled "What's Bad Luck to a Club Like Ours?", which has already been showcased at the Horrific Hope Film Festival in Virginia. Excitingly, it’s set to appear at a special filmmaker showcase in Richmond, Virginia, and is currently being submitted to various festivals for awards consideration.Building a Filmmaking CommunityLeo is the founder of the Stavanger Filmmakers Club, established almost five years ago. Initially, the club had humble beginnings, starting with just one participant. However, through persistence and creativity, Leo transformed it into a thriving community that now produces feature films and short films.Grassroots Beginnings: The club started with a single meeting in a local bar.Community Growth: Leveraging Facebook for outreach, Leo attracted more members and created a space for collaboration and creativity.Collective Learning: The club encourages members to take on various roles, from writing to directing, fostering a culture of experimentation and growth.The Power of CollaborationOne of the most rewarding aspects of the Stavanger Filmmakers Club is the sense of community it fosters.
