LESLIE AN

Consider the Fly
short documentary


This short documentary positions an invasive species ravaging NYC as a poignant allegory for alienation. It uses interviews, footage of a bigot, and more to empathize with the harsh fate of red lantern flies.

reviews (not to brag)

“Leslie An, a Robert Pattinson lookalike, is best known for her work that breaks all boundaries and conventions, reinvents every wheel that's ever been invented, and defines a new genre of meta-fiction using her meta-mind. She melds reality with fiction seamlessly, leaving the audience begging and squealing for more.”
“weird”
“Leslie An is doing something, whatever it is.”
“Leslie An draws out humanity in moments that most forget are actually central parts of ‘being.’ She recognizes the fragility of life and highlights its most beautiful parts.”
“I unfortunately have not read a NYT book or movie review. I don't know the style.”
 “Leslie An has an extraordinary gift of building a quirky, rhapsodic, and moving narrative that moves effortlessly from the personal to the public and back again. She writes with great empathy, even for people she does not know, or for people she disagrees with. This is something that cannot be taught.”
“Leslie An knows how to speak with images.”
“Beyond brilliant.”
“If Leslie An has 1000 fans, I am 1 of them. If she has 1 fan, it’s me. If she has 0 fans, it’s because I’m dead.”
“Leslie An is leaving an indelible mark on her world and society. Her gripping mind leaves us wondering what she will do next.”
 “Leslie An has a curious and dynamic and possibly troublesome brain.”
“Leslie An makes an undeniable and significant impact, imbued with her sense of self, which is almost always exciting, quirky, very well executed, and inspiring.”
“Leslie An is an intrepid documentary artist.”
“Leslie An’s photographs deserve multiple exclamation points. It's the real thing.”
 “Thrilling work.”

“Her process, which embraces uncertainty and story over polish, is characteristic of who she is as an artist.”
