Leslie Brown is an independent Casting Director and Production Coordinator. After recovering from the acting bug, she began her film career in sales and marketing at Holy Cow! Visual Effects. She then moved behind the camera to film a human rights documentary in Europe, produce an educational television show for PARS-TV, and direct two episodes of "Fitness and Health" for Florida's Sunshine Network. After earning several credits for film producing, getting several 35mm shorts under belt, including the graduate film of Taron Lexton, she was inspired to work on something on a larger scale, and got involved in Youth for Human Rights International. Her inaugural showpiece, UNITED, a music video/short film premiered inside the United Nations in 2004 and went on to screen at more than 20 film festivals, win 7 awards, and qualify for an Academy Award nomination. She cast a series of 30 Public Service Announcements illustrating the 30 articles of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), as well as another 21 ads for The Way to Happiness. Since then, she has cast multiple short films for students at NYFA (LA), and CCH, as well as several commercials, and continues to focus on new projects as a Casting Director.
