Leo Hollen Jr
@leohollenjr
Multidisciplinary marketing and filmmaking lead delivering end-to-end brand storytelling, digital growth, and community-driven programming.
What I'm looking for
I’m a multidisciplinary creative producer, marketer, and filmmaker with a proven track record across independent documentary film, LGBTQ+ arts programming, brand storytelling, and digital marketing. I bring rare end-to-end capability—I develop strategy, produce and edit content, write copy, coordinate events, and manage follow-through.
As the sole marketing and digital operations lead for a multi-location hospitality brand, I independently manage content strategy, social media, email marketing, e-commerce, event programming, and community engagement. I own end-to-end social media strategy and content production across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, and I write, design, and deploy email newsletters, promotional e-blasts, and SMS campaigns. I also maintain and update Shopify product pages, subscriptions, and customer-facing digital content.
Filmmaking is central to how I build brands and communities. I co-founded Queer Moxie, a queer media brand and feature documentary platform, and I’ve co-directed and co-produced a feature-length documentary exploring queer identity and creative expression. I’ve also helped build one of Atlanta’s leading LGBTQ+ film organizations through filmmaker programs and community initiatives.
My work extends into leadership and production in the LGBTQ+ film ecosystem—supporting filmmaker-facing programs, co-founding the Queer Film Summit, co-architecting the Filmmaker Fund, and co-founding the Queer Film Alliance. I’m also a director, producer, and editor—directing and editing the feature documentary “XOXO: For the Love of Football,” and editing completed and in-festival short films. I’m energized by roles where brand, content, and community strategy are deeply connected.
