Leah Pedersen
Producer, Director, Cinematographer
I am a Charleston, SC-based, swiss-army-knife filmmaker with a love for documentary, storytelling, and civil rights. I’m a dual national (American-French), which I will use as my excuse for always seeking moments of joie de vivre on screen. I recently took my first short doc to several regional festivals, am in post-production on a narrative short that I wrote/ directed, and will soon be in post on my first feature-length historical documentary.
My involvement in the industry began with content creation for the kiteboarding industry, filming from land, sea and air while my subject/husband/editor did the fancy riding. In 2024 I completed a two-year program in filmmaking at Trident Technical College.
