The Full Story

Leo Caserta is an independent filmmaker based in Stratford, Connecticut. His passion for film began at a young age, experimenting with stop-motion LEGO animations on his father's camcorder. Though this early enthusiasm faded for a time, it was reignited in college, setting him on a dedicated path in filmmaking. Over the past four years, Leo has contributed to nine feature-length films, one of which earned the Best Directing award at Sundance 2025. His work in the industry has taken him across the U.S. and Italy, deepening both his craft and his appreciation for storytelling. Whether working on narrative shorts, music videos, or documentaries, Leo’s films explore the human experience, capturing the beauty in simplicity. Going forward, he plans to create more documentary-style pieces, focusing on the real stories that already exist—waiting for a lens to tell them.
