ACT TWO: Origin Story

Lesley began production in independent features. Before ReKon Productions, Lesley worked on such films as Detention (2011), OJ: The Musical (2013) and Caterpillar’s Kimono (2013). Outside of features, Lesley lent her production expertise to commercials for brands like Nestle, Nickelodeon, Sony and Citroen.

ACT THREE: Meet-Cute

In 2012, Lesley joined the production team of the ReKon Productions film A Leading Man. It was during pre-production that Lesley first met Producer/UPM Jon Michael Kondrath, a meeting that might be related to the day that Hobbes was presented to Calvin. It was after a three-month production process and a successful 18-day shoot in 16 different locations, Jon deemed Lesley (Locations) useful. Thus, she inevitably became a part of ReKon Productions.
