Directors comments:

Tonje Ness Meinhardt director of 'The Bionic Girl':

Leila was one was of many actresses that applied for the role of 'Chloe' she intintally sent in a recorded audition followed by a Skype audition with me. I chose her because when she got into the skin of the character at the audition, she transformed herself into how I imagined the character Chloe to be.

Leila was really great to work with on set. For the two days of filming she was always prepared and on time. Her performance was convincing and she took instructions well. She is professional, punctual and dedicated. I would definitely recommend her.

Robyn Forsythe director of 'Life As I Know It':

Leila is an extremely commited team member. Her motto is clear to see in all her work, as she always gives 100% every day. Her talent and passion make her a pleasure to work with on set; she always knows her lines, never complains and always has excellent ideas!

Amy Hill director of 'Kyle':

As a director I couldn't ask for a more engaging response as she pushed the boundaries past my own character development, delivering fantastic results. Her on-set attitude is a perfect balance of professionalism and fun and I look forward to working with Leila again in the future.

Naadav Soundry:

Leila is a talented and very hardworking actress. She listens carefully to direction and spends time working on her performance. She is easy to work with and very reliable. I look forward to working with her again.

I worked with Leila on my first short for the London Film School 'Just Another day'. Leila has a strong presence on screen and isn't afraid to try new things. She's determent, professional and works well under pressure. One of the lines from the film comes from Leila's own experience and this really made a difference in her performance, she owned that line--it was a great addition to her character and I'm very grateful for it. I wish her all the best with her future projects.
