Lea Savoy

Born in Freeport,Texas to parents Sharon of English-Irish descent and Lynel Savoy, of Acadian (Cajun) descent and named after the two wives of Jacob, Lea Rachele Savoy spent most of her youth training and showing horses in competition events. Her family eventually relocated to Hawaii, where she graduated from Mililani High School on the island of Oahu. She was accepted at several universities to study for a degree in Geology/Geophysics but instead, her life took a different turn and she attended college in Washington State, where she studied film theory, industrial film/video/television production and audio engineering. While a college student, she was a Seattle indie band photographer and music video DP for several bands during grunge music's rise into popularity.

After graduating college, Lea produced several documentaries for distribution worldwide for the education market, freelanced in television production, produced multimedia for large corporations and has collaborated with other independent filmmakers on theatrical films.
