ABOUT LEONIDAS

Romanian-Spanish artist based in Singapore. Born into a family of artists (musicians and painters), the young Leónidas felt a strong love for cinema since he was a child. Being from a non-local ethnicity in Singapore comes with both pros and cons, less competitive but also fewer acting opportunities, leading Leonidas to start exploring screenwriting, score composing and film editing to create his own movie sets, becoming an advocate for low-budget movies produced with mobile phones. Balancing his day job as a dental technician with his passion for acting was no easy feat. Neither the nightly shoots before and after full-time work, nor the job loss during the pandemic, nor the lack of filming opportunities, post-pandemic, for larger projects could have discouraged him from continuing to make and act in short films. At the same time, he composes his own scores for his short films. Some of his soundtracks are available on Spotify. His firm belief that passion and hard work will eventually lead to that breakthrough, which every artist fights so hard for, keeps him motivated..
