Perrie Voss chats with film director and photographer, Leah Vlemmiks. Leah chats about her experience on our Avocado Toast the series season 1 set as our 2nd Assistant Director, and how her ability to mulit-task under pressure while staying calm made her such an incredible asset on our set. Leah comes from an Advertising background and has transitioned into film over the past year. Leah also talks about directing a music video for the musician Witch Prophet on their recent music video 'Tesfay', which Leah directed this past summer. Witch Prophet was subsequently a part of the Polaris Finalist screening on CBC. Leah touches on what aspects of storytelling on film speaks to her and one of her favourite directors, Chloé Zhao, who most recently directed Nomadland starring Frances McDormand. Leah and Perrie also discuss their mutual experience of having their parents divorce while they were adults (which led to Elle's parental divorce storyline in Avocado Toast season 1), and the unexpected and profound effect it can have on your life, even as an adult.
