Christopher Leoni is a Latin American writer and director dedicated to expanding the portrayal of Hispanic culture on screen. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran, Christopher traded his rifle for a pen, choosing storytelling as a new form of service—amplifying underrepresented voices through film.

​

His short film INK (6 min) was a finalist at the New York Cinematography Awards in 2020, followed by Pitch Boys (17 min, 2020), Intern on Parade (21 min, 2022), and A Moment for Glory (23 min, 2023), which screened at the Naples International Film Festival and the New York Shorts International Film Festival.

​

In addition to his work behind the camera, Christopher has successfully championed community film events. He founded and hosted Cinema Collective at the SVA Theatre in 2019, drawing over 500 attendees, and curated the Latinos in the Artsshowcase at Regal Union Square in 2023, which welcomed more than 300 guests.

He holds a B.F.A. in Film from the School of Visual Arts (Class of 2021).
