Today we released part one of our interview with Leslie Shampaine. She's an award-winning filmmaker and teaching artist. After a 13-year career as a professional ballet dancer, she transitioned into documentary film, producing content for PBS, CBS, the Discovery Channel, and National Geographic.
​
Her feature documentary, Call Me Dancer, has won 23 prestigious awards, including China’s top documentary prize. It has been showcased at major film festivals, New York's Lincoln Center, and screened by U.S. consulates in India and Nepal.

As a Fulbright Scholar in India, she led workshops and screenings, using the universal language of art to foster cross-cultural dialogue. Her dedication to the arts continues to inspire global connections, bridging cultures and fostering understanding through storytelling and mentorship.

Join us to hear Leslie’s fascinating journey as she recounts how she applied what she learned as a leader in one art form to become a leader in another.
