what is leap?

LEAP explores the unfiltered realities of betting on yourself in the 21st Century.

What initially started as a film, has turned into a movement transcending barriers of race, class and age. LEAP was birthed from the story of two Black British filmmakers, Adessy & Stephanie who took a leap of faith and headed to Los Angeles asking the question "Can a single trip change your life?". The documentary outlines the realities of betting on yourself in the 21st Century, and what it takes to make dreams come true in the face of uncertainty and limited resource. Since making the film, LEAP has captured the minds and hearts of people across the globe, and after two sold out screenings, they are dedicated to empowering the next generation of creatives and visionaries with the ‘leap mindset’ through content, workshops and events.
