Steven Leone is an award winning director from—actually he’s not. He’s never won any awards…in anything; except for youth sports. Every other director's bio contains that accolade, so he figured, “Heck. Why not?”.

But, alas, he’s just a dude from Brooklyn that knows a bit about story, acting, lighting, etcetera, that's somehow landed him in this field with some work that was at least interesting enough to pique your curiosity to read about him. And capturing your eyes is a small victory.

So in that sense, he’s a winner… just without the awards!
