Eleonora Mignoli, who goes by Leo (they/them), is an Italian-born, Manchester-based, neurodivergent, queer writer. A BAFTA Connect member and BFI funding recipient, Leo works across mediums to explore stories about people who don’t fit the spaces or identities they’re expected to occupy, and what happens when they stop trying to.
When not developing new projects, Leo is immersed in storytelling through script reading, consulting, and teaching.
They are also a painter, illustrator, and voracious reader.
