Cast & Crew
Leandro Imaz
DIRECTOR/DP/EDITOR/WRITER
Leandro is a filmmaker originally from Argentina, now living in Los Angeles and starting his career as a Director of Photography and Steadicam Operator. As a DP he likes immersing the audience in the psychology of the characters and finding the best way to reflect their personalities on screen, as seen in ROOM 107 with his use of static and slow camera movements to underscore the uncomfortable feeling of tension and connect more deeply with characters in certain moments.
Steve Anderson
DIRECTOR
Steve has been directing, acting, and coaching actors for 35 years. Primarily a live theatre director for many years, he was hired to direct his first feature in 2014, LUCKY U RANCH (Random Media distribution). Steve also directed THE SECRET LIVES OF TEACHERS, which played in 24 festivals and garnered nine honors and awards. Most recently, Steve directed 42 SECONDS, a short film about three survivors of a mass shooting and their journey toward healing. As an actor, Steve has performed off-Broadway and in regional theatre and can soon be seen as “Adam Comley” in the international feature, THE WALL, opposite Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Corsage), directed by Philippe Van Leeuw.
Kathleen Canon
WRITER
Kathleen is an actress, writer, and producer currently living in Los Angeles. She frequently collaborates with filmmaker and YouTuber Darious Britt on his channel D4Darious.

MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of ROOM 107 is to raise awareness of the dangers of the trafficking industry, particularly to inform parents and teens about “romeo pimps” and to prompt them to talk, do their own research, and spread the word. We hope ROOM 107 will be used in educational settings as a way to prompt more dialogue on the issue.
