About Leo Dorian Stiebeling

Leo Dorian Stiebeling’s passion for film developed at an early age. Starting out as a child actor, he attended drama school and appeared in numerous theatre, TV, and film productions. These early experiences not only deepened his understanding of the craft but also laid the foundation for his later transition behind the camera.

His formal training includes the Up.Grade programme at the DFFB in Berlin, where he honed his technical skills in color grading and developed a sharp eye for visual storytelling. He also took part in directing workshops led by acclaimed filmmakers at the HFF Munich, further refining his ability to shape dramatic narratives and elicit memorable performances.

Today, Leo combines his artistic vision with technical expertise in his role as a Director-DP. He focuses on creating films, commercials, and music videos that advocate for social causes and empower young adults. Focusing on emotional impact, he draws on his acting background to bring a rare sensitivity to his directing and connect with actors at every level.

On the business side of filmmaking, Leo co-founded and served as executive producer of a production company. He has worked with renowned agencies such as Serviceplan, Innocean, and McCann, and has contributed to campaigns for some of the world’s best-known brands, including Amazon, Nike, New Balance, and Puma.

Leo’s work has been recognised by various media outlets and festivals, including the Berlin Music Video Awards and Genrenale. His accolades also include the Gold Award at the Prix de la Photographie Paris, Best Film at Randfilmfest, and Best Grading at the MBT Film Awards.
