CHRIS ROSS LEONG
PRODUCER / WRITER / DIRECTOR / DP / EDITOR / COMPOSER
"Jack of all trades and master of none
but oftentimes better than Master of one".
MISSION
I make movies that move people.
Since the flickering firelight of huge cave paintings, people have learned life lessons through stories. Not facts alone but feelings, forging unforgettably tall and dangerous tales with thrilling emotions.
Lessons given and taken this way last not just minutes, but entire generations.
​
My specialist tools include psychology, iconography and dramaturgy: how to tell stories through pictures and actors - and how to make people look, listen - and learn.
​
This means no story without meaning. No story already done before.
​
And no slices of life.
​
Just slices of cake.
​
Original ones.
