Michael Leon is a filmmaker and visual storyteller crafting surreal, immersive worlds across narrative and commercial work.

Fusing live action with visual effects, animation, and design, his work explores heightened realities—blending emotion, mystery, and myth with a tactile, maximalist style. Whether directing supernatural brand campaigns like Fireball Whisky "Burns Like Hell" or fable-like shorts such as Stillborn and In the Dark, Leon brings a graphic novel sensibility to the screen: bold, atmospheric, and story-driven.

​ 

Across all formats, he partners with creative teams to reimagine the familiar through a dreamlike, often uncanny lens.
