Experience

Leo has been passionate about films and TV from a very young age. He began trying his hand at reviews and longform articles as early as when he was 12 years old, and has written for a multitude of blogs and sites over the years. His passion for classic cinema led him to develop a deep familiarity with films from all eras and various corners of the world, and to keep up to speed on everything that goes on in the social media film-o-sphere. In addition to that, he has also accrued firsthand experience with the craft of filmmaking by working in a variety of fields in film school, writing and directing chiefly among them. As a writer for Looper, he enjoys researching everything from cinema classics to major blockbusters and all things entertainment news.
