Hey everyone, today I wanna talk about something a bit different, something that’s been on my mind lately – the work of Leah Bleich. You might not know her name yet, but trust me, you will. She’s this young director and producer who’s starting to make some serious waves.
So, how did I stumble upon Leah Bleich? Well, it all started a few weeks ago when I was just browsing, looking for something interesting to watch. I found this film called “The Moon and Back.” The title caught my eye, and I saw it was Leah’s first movie. I thought, “Why not give it a shot?”
I watched the trailer for “The Moon and Back” and started it right then. I was really blown away by the way she handled the story and the characters, and I gotta say I finished it in one sitting. It’s not everyday you find a new director whose work really resonates with you. I immediately started searching for more about her. Turns out, she’s a graduate of UC Santa Barbara, which is pretty cool. And get this, she was even a mentee of Cathy Yan, who directed “Birds of Prey.” That’s some serious street cred right there.
I dug deeper, checking out her online profiles and any interviews I could find. I found that she grew up in Palo Alto. I mean, to go from the tech bubble to directing a feature film, that’s quite the journey.
What really impressed me was her dedication. From what I gathered, “The Moon and Back” was a low-budget project. But you wouldn’t know it from watching the film. It’s polished, well-acted, and the story really draws you in. That takes serious skill and passion, especially for a first-time director. I started reaching out to folks who might know her or have worked with her, trying to get a better sense of who she is as a filmmaker.
I also checked her other works, like she’s known for “Hypnotic.” It’s pretty amazing that she’s already got some cool stuff under her belt.
What I Found Out
- She’s a director, producer, and writer based in LA.
- She was mentored by Cathy Yan (Birds of Prey).
- “The Moon and Back” is her feature directorial debut.

I managed to watch “The Moon and Back” again, this time with a more critical eye, paying attention to the details, the cinematography, the pacing. And you know what? It held up. It’s a genuinely good film. I’m telling you, this Leah Bleich, she’s the real deal. I even went back to UC Santa Barbara’s website and found some articles about her. It was great to see her alma mater celebrating her success.
