Leatherbound is a self-funded, passion project that was inspired by silent cinema, a love of horror and the experience of living with a disability. Concept work started in July 2020, and shot during fall of 2023. Cast & crew are local to southern Ontario - the majority from London & surrounding area, and is a labour of love by everyone involved.
