About Leo Croissy

I’m Leo Croissy, a Miami-based Film Director and Producer with a passion for bringing compelling stories and memorable visuals to life. My approach to filmmaking is driven by creativity, authenticity, and a desire to create work that connects with audiences.

My journey as a visual storyteller actually began long before I stepped fully into filmmaking. Prior to pursuing film professionally, I spent 15 years as a recording artist, developing firsthand experience in the creative and production process. During that time, I co-directed and produced my own music and music videos, allowing me to develop an understanding of how music, performance, cinematography, editing, and storytelling work together. That experience behind both the microphone and the camera helped shape the way I approach directing today—I understand the creative process from the perspective of both the artist and the filmmaker responsible for bringing that artist’s vision to the screen.

I’ve always been drawn to true crime documentaries and crime dramas, especially stories that explore real people, complex situations, and the details that keep viewers engaged from beginning to end. At the same time, I don’t believe creativity should be limited to one genre. My goal is to direct and produce films across a wide range of styles, including comedy, thrillers, romance, science fiction, urban stories, and drama.

My creative experience is supported by a strong academic foundation in audio, film, and production. I graduated from SAE Institute in Miami, Florida, with a 4.0 GPA and was awarded Salutatorian of my graduating class. In 2026, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Digital Cinematography from Full Sail University, further developing my skills in visual storytelling, directing, cinematography, and production. Continuing that commitment to growth, I plan to return to Full Sail University in 2027 to pursue a Master’s degree in Entertainment Business, expanding my knowledge beyond the creative side of filmmaking into the business, management, and leadership of the entertainment industry.

My work has also expanded into podcast production. I began producing podcasts in 2020, combining my background in audio production with filmmaking and visual storytelling to create engaging long-form content. My current project, Token Talk, is now in its second season and is hosted by the owners of Token Miami, a reseller boutique based in Miami, Florida. Podcasting has given me another platform to produce stories and conversations while continuing to develop my skills in multi-camera production, audio, directing, and post-production.

Beyond narrative filmmaking and podcasting, I also enjoy capturing the energy of sporting events, concerts, and live bands. Live production challenges me to anticipate the moment, recognize the story happening in real time, and translate that energy into powerful visual content.

Based in Miami, Florida, I’m inspired by the city’s diverse culture, music, people, and creative community. Whether I’m developing a film concept, directing a production, producing behind the scenes, capturing a live event, or developing episodic content, my focus is always on creating professional content with a clear purpose and distinctive visual identity.

I’m always interested in connecting with filmmakers, artists, brands, producers, business owners, and creative professionals. If you have a story, project, event, or creative idea you want to bring to life, let’s connect and create something worth watching.
