Leslie Alejandro

Director, producer, filmmaker, and photographer, Leslie Alejandro has spent most of her life in the entertainment industry. Her career as a professional musician started at the age of 15 and continued over the course of two decades. She then shifted her focus to publication as a partner/executive director at a celebrity and fashion digital magazine for seven years. Here she wore many hats - creative/art director, editor, and photo producer. After several years of experience on many sets, Leslie eventually found her passion for being behind the camera. From this, she decided to pursue photography full time. Her work has been featured in Vanity Fair, Variety Magazine, GQ, Men's Health, Teen Vogue, Women's Health, The Wrap, Nylon Magazine, etc. Alejandro's existing obsession with film and television and her ability to story- tell through imagery, composition, and stills then led her to discover her passion in filmmaking. Her directing credits include the documentary short about surrogacy 'She's Having My Baby', the short film 'Smile', starring Kevin Alejandro and DB Woodside, and 'Adult Night', in which she co-directed with Kevin Alejandro, starring Kevin Alejandro and Lesley-Ann Brandt. Alejandro has been an integral member of the Human Rights Campaign for more than a decade and actively campaigns and advocates for the inclusion, integration, and visibility of women and people of color "above and below the line" in the entertainment industry.
