Alessandro Leonardi

I am a documentary filmmaker, social media videographer and content creator based in Berlin, working across Europe on prime-time reportage, social media content and feature documentaries for ARTE, ZDF, Spiegel TV, 3Sat, SRF and Netflix. I write, direct and shoot stories that explore people, places and the human side of current events, from migration in Lampedusa to Alpine depopulation, often crossing borders to tell timely, human-centered stories.

I also develop branded content for BBC StoryWorks and other broadcasters, teach storytelling in non-fiction at workshops and mentor junior crews, and enjoy collaborating with teams to bring complex topics to life with empathy and clarity.
