Leif Bristow

I have specialized in films and TV that inspire and uplift audiences. I am known for my ability to maintain calm on my sets with a unique capability to help an actor achieve the needed performance. Collaboration is the hallmark of my work. Whether it's with the DOP, Producers or craft, i have always believed everyone has a voice and should never feel I am not interested in hearing it. As the director my job is to what I don't, want yet be open to exploring ideas that can enhance my vision. I have extensive experience in working with Humans and animals as well as having the knowledge of filming all over the world bringing crews together. I have done more treaty coproductions than almost any CDN so use that skill to assist the productions in achieving higher production values. The films and tv content I have directed or been a producer on have won in excess of 200 international festivals and awards including 6 Emmy's, many CSA's, Gemini's, Cable Ace Awards and 1 film highlighted at the 75th Oscars
