about

Michael Leon is a Miami-based director who tells bold, genre-defying stories with striking visuals. Inspired by punk rock and 80s fantasy, sci-fi, and horror, his work seamlessly blends chaotic beauty, dark humor, and emotional depth. His award-winning short films, Stillborn and In the Dark, have received multiple festival honors, while his campaigns for brands like Fireball Whisky and 1/ST Racing have earned accolades such as multiple Telly Awards. Represented by PPC Directors Agency, Michael continues to craft visually stunning, emotionally resonant stories that push the boundaries of genre and captivate audiences worldwide.
