My greatest joy is knowing that the stories I create have a positive effect on the lives of others. Storytelling is a powerful tool and my purpose is to inspire creation within others.

KEN GIROTTI

“She is a very capable leader and has the tenacity and the talent to be successful in this industry.

As a director Leah has the vision to make projects interesting and unique and she understands how to make the details tie into a bigger picture. Not only is she creatively driven, but she is kind and intelligent. And on top of everything, Leah’s experience as a producer provides her with the business acumen that will help catapult her career as a director forward.”

NORMAN BUCKLEY

“When we met in Los Angeles, she had a positive attitude right from the start.

It was clear that she is working hard to reach her goals. I meet filmmakers and creators all the time and I know a rising star when I see one. Leah is a true leader and she is an incredible role model for her fellow millennial filmmakers and all the young film buffs out there.”

MARK BISHOP

“I admire Leah Rifkin’s character, relentless work ethic and desire for excellence.

She brings her knowledge for directing, passion for storytelling, organization, and eagerness to everything she does. She has a strong vision and big ideas, but what separates her from her peers is that she isn’t dreaming of being the next big director, she’s passionately working at it. It is clear that she will do whatever it takes to be super successful on the big stage.”
