Our Story in 60 secs: The Sync Films Drama Showreel
“Sync Films” originated as a passion project working title during Leo’s studies of film production at WAC Arts Weekend Arts College (1998–2002), under the mentorship of Julian Sefton-Green, Rafael Kaniewski, and Amani Naphtali.
Leo has maintained long-standing collaborations with his original film school friends, sharing his passion for creating independent film drama.
Meet The Filmmakers
Leo Baker, recognised as the Weekend Arts College Student of the Year 2002 for cinematography and film production; Patricio Meneses-Carrington, an award-winning writer and poet; and Leah O’Connell, with a BA (Hons) in Film and Media Studies. Together, they bring diverse talents and a shared passion for filmmaking.
But it’s not just about filmmaking; it’s about shared dedication to autism advocacy. Leo and Patricio are actively involved in the Camden Autistic Adult Advisory Group and the Camden Autism Co-Researcher Group.
“Our genuine interest is to passionately create independent dramas of both short and feature length film. Forging longtime collaborations with other film makers, creatives and principal actors”.
We are a 100% independent filmmaking, self-funded focused on passion projects. No nepotism, no politics, which are not for profit! Working on micro budgets. We personally invest in every project because we don’t need anyone’s approval. This protects from external influences, allowing us to maintain absolute integrity. All activities are passion-driven and meant for personal fulfilment and community engagement. They’re not paid work or employment, and should not be mistaken for income-generating activities. While we welcome collaboration and ideas, all projects are purely shared creative pursuits.
