Leah Bleich is an LA-based director, producer and writer. A mentee of director Cathy Yan ("Birds of Prey," “Succession”), Leah recently completed her feature directorial debut, "The Moon & Back," as one of five filmmakers selected out of over 350 applicants for Wayfarer Studios's “The Six Feet Apart Experiment” competition. "The Moon & Back" premiered at Academy Award-qualifying film festivals across the country, including Newport Beach Film Festival, Heartland International, SCAD Savannah, and San Diego International (where the film won “Best Women’s Film Series”). Leah was a selected director for MTV Entertainment Studios’s inaugural First Time Director’s Initiative, during which she wrote and directed an ad campaign for Paramount that aired nationally on MTV & Comedy Central throughout May of 2023. She recently sold a six-episode scripted podcast ("Sirens") to AudioUp Media, and is currently writing a feature on assignment for MarVista Entertainment.

Leah combines her perspective as a director with a background as a development executive. She began her career at Creative Artists Agency, and became a Development Executive at Solstice Studios, where she worked closely on the films “Unhinged” with Russell Crowe and “Hypnotic” with Ben Affleck. Most recently, she served as a Creative Executive in Comedy TV for Just For Laughs, where she produced projects with talent including Marlon Wayans, Lil Rel Howery, Diplo, Pete Holmes, Nicole Byer, and Nikki Glaser. She loves to tell stories about bizarre, wonderful, flawed and extraordinary characters, and nothing makes her happier than making audiences laugh and cry at the same time.
