Leslie de Oliveira Cousin
In A Nutshell
Hi, I’m Leslie! I’m a French national of Portuguese descent (on my dad’s side) living in Scotland. I like saying that borders are not really compatible with my personal & family history, as you can imagine!
I am a very creative person who loves creating content: from video to graphic design. I decided to develop my professional expertise centred around this character trait (can we call it that? I guess so!)
As far back as I can remember, I loved understanding how images were made. Later I wanted to understand how they were shared and received by audiences, leading to my experience as a film curator and film festival programmer and coordinator as well.
I’m just fascinated by films and how they can empower us. I hope one day to start a Phd in Film Studies and teach in Uni (it’s on my bucket list).
In the meantime, I'm delighted to help businesses take advantage of all aspects of video!
Background
I graduated in Film Production in 2012, and Image & Film Curation in 2014 and 2016. Following my final graduation, I decided to create a freelance business that evolved over time as I gained more experience and confidence. I now use my creative expertise on Red Evolution’s great projects.
Qualifications
2-year technical degree in Film Production (Paris)
BA in Image & Film Curation (Paris)
MSc in Film, Exhibition and Curation (Edinburgh)
When I'm Not At Work
I’ve always hoped to make a positive impact on the world around me, so I’ve been volunteering for a few years with different organisations (depending on where I lived).
I love to cook. Particularly vegetarian dishes since I always learn something new about plants when I cook them.
I also love to walk and visit new places: it broadens my mental map of the world!
