Sebastian Leitner was born on April 9th, 1987 in Vienna, Austria and started a little film production company, now called "SLfilm", on January 1st, 2008. He specialized in comedy (both as an editor and writer) and (classical) music but actually studied Physics at the University of Vienna from 2006-2013. He kept on working in the film business, mainly as a freelance producer and filmmaker.

His first feature-length project "Noseland" (a classical music mockumentary with John Malkovich, Julian Rachlin and Roger Moore - directed by Aleksey Igudesman, English) had a very healthy run at various international film festivals and a cinematic release in the German area in 2014.

After that he got invited to co-direct an U.S. comedy feature called "The Indian" (by Chris Foessl, English) and also write the screenplay for another comedy feature "Crazy Banditos" (by Bertan Colaker, German) set in Berlin, where he also lives since 2013.

Born in Vienna, Austria and big fan of the Hollywood of the 90s & 00s. I'm what you would call a film-purist. My debut feature "Noseland", a music mockumentary w. John Malkovich & Roger Moore, premiered at KVIFF, Karlovy Vary in 2012 - also awarded "Most Entertaining Documentary" in the US the same year. It got me nominated for "Best Editing" at IFF Madrid in 2012. I was again nominated for it in 2017 for "Cairo Jazzman", my second music feature-doc, which premiered at RIFF, Rotterdam in 2017. Have been working on my third cinema documentary about female singers in Iran - to be released 2020.
