Leo Entertainment produces high quality content for film, television, and new media across New York, Los Angeles and China.
Where powerful stories meet purpose, artistry and a global vision.
At the heart of Leo Entertainment is a belief that storytelling and service are deeply connected.
Founded by actress, filmmaker and global humanitarian Miss Sayé, Leo is shaped by a life lived across cultures and communities, and by a commitment to using creativity to make a meaningful difference.
Through SAYE.ORG, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organisation, this vision extends beyond the screen, supporting humanitarian work and communities around the world.
“Because for us, the most powerful stories do not simply move audiences. They move humanity forward.”
Our vision is to create exceptional work for a new generation of audiences while remaining grounded in integrity, imagination and purpose.
Leo Entertainment regularly provides film financing in China through its network of HNWIs. By wrapping premium access to Hollywood production companies with the added benefit of U.S. permanent residency, the company has been able to build a large base of investors.
