heidimartinuzzi.comLeslie Delano - Director
Leslie Delano is one of the unsung heroes in the world of indie films. A female director with a conscience, she's set out to change the popular perceptions of beauty as well as the lingering stereotypes women have had to endure since the inception of the genre movie. A self-proclaimed horror addict, Leslie's response to these off-putting characterizations was to put a feminist spin on the much recycled slasher sub genre in Deadly Lessons, a feature length movie she produced, wrote and directed. Delano also worked on special makeup FX for the B-movie classic Class of Nuke 'em High, and co-wrote the time-warp-action-horror-comedy-alien-cop-thriller Alien Space Avenger, and Head Games, a Troma-esque thriller about violent killers being experimented on and released back into society.
