Leopoldo Laborde (born in November 6, 1970) is a Mexican film director, screenwriter, photographer, editor and self-made producer. He entered the movie business in 1984 as a production assistant in Mexico City. In the years between 1988-1995 he shot four feature films on home-video and developed his skills as a storyteller as well as his visual aesthetics. In 1997 he shot his first feature film in 35mm., Angeluz, a horror film which later became a cult movie. Immediately afterwards, he wrote and shot Sin Destino (1999) and Un Secreto de Esperanza (2002). Main actors are, respectively, Roberto Cobo and Katy Jurado, these two films being the last acting performances they gave. Sin Destino is known as “a key piece in raw realism”, and Un Secreto de Esperanza won 12 awards in film festivals around the world. During 2005 he written, edited and directed Enemy, this time with debutant performers, and in 2007, Un Hombre y Su Morada Interior.
Laborde is known for his particular vision and great versatility in movie styles.
