About Me

Im Leilani, a UK actor who screenwrites & makes films in my free time.

 

A professional actor by trade, I trained with The Impulse Company under the mentorship of Artistic Director Scott Williams and have studied with teachers from The Actors Studio, New York and cult British director Ken Campbell.

Having spent the early part of my career on stage, I applied my training to the wonders of film when I joined independent filmmaking group OTTfilms and in addition to acting and screenwriting began directing and producing. My directorial debut Death of the Dinosaurs was nominated for a British Independent Film Award in 2006. I've gone on to make numerous other films seen worldwide on the festival circuit and TV. 

I  continue to act regularly for film.
