I’m Leon (26), a commercial directing student at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg (FABW) and ambitious young talent at EBERWEIN FILM. I have been part of this wonderful industry for 7 years and have been making films. As a young director and assistant, I am involved in various roles in the creative development process. I love what I do and always look forward to new projects, new impressions, ideas, jobs and creative challenges every day. As a digital native, I see things through different eyes. Moving pictures are the books I read. Filmmaking is more than just a job – my dream job. My life.

In 2025, I was honored to receive several awards for my work on two spec spots: Forest Gum and PUMA King. At the Art Directors Club (ADC) Germany, PUMA King earned two Bronze Nails in the student film category. Internationally, both Forest Gum and PUMA King were recognized with Silver Telly Awards in New York – a proud moment and a huge motivation for what’s to come.
