Jack Leonard

Having loved aviation and film my entire life I always wanted to carve a career in one or the other. In my late teens I directed two short films, one of which was called A Chronicle of Life. I was lucky enough to have it exhibited and for it to be well received at the London Suburban Shorts film festival. I hoped to attend the Nation Film and Television School to continue my development. I was simultaneously perusing aviation by learning to fly. My aviation career quickly overtook my film career and I ultimately became qualified as an Airline Pilot and am presently a Captain. During Covid I was furloughed and by chance I found myself working on Masters of the Air, not behind the camera but in-front of it. I have since been lucky enough to continue working in the industry as an Actor in adverts, a Precision Driver, a Stand-in and a Double.
