The latter film, which examined the heroin epidemic in South Wales, was picked up internationally by CNN. He continued to turn heads with his feature length documentary, ‘Fact or Fiction: The Life and Times of a Ping Pong Hustler’. His short film ‘Mother’ was nominated for a BIFA award in 2016 and premiered at Sundance London. Recently, Leo directed the music video for ‘Free in the Knowledge’ by Thom Yorke’s band The Smile. As well as commercials for Alexander, A/D/O and Mini, and the short film, ‘Rewind Britain’, a sinister comedy about amateur videographers.
