Framingham Filmmaker's Work Showing At Esteemed Hollywood Festival

FRAMINGHAM, MA — A Framingham High School graduate is getting another big look in the film world.

Alex Leombruno's film "I Love You Don't Leave Me" was selected for Producer's Night Los Angeles, a highly regarded film festival in the heart of the industry.

The film has already screened at the Boston Short Film Festival and, prior to that screening, Leombruno told Patch a bit about how moviemaking as a career became a reality.

"As early as elementary school, I can recall making silly videos with my best friend at the time and being super excited to hold a camera," Leombruno told Patch in a previous interview.

"In middle school, I went to a summer camp where I took a filmmaking class, and that passion just kept growing."

Leombruno participated in Framingham High School's filmmaking and television program, was part of the crew that produced the daily newscast and is a 2017 graduate.

"When it came time to figuring out what my plan for college was, there was no hesitation for what I wanted to do," Leombruno said. "Nothing else made sense to pursue, and I feel grateful my teachers and family were encouraging of going to film school."

Leombruno graduated from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn in May of last year and moved to Los Angeles to pursue filmmaking as a career.

"I Love You Don't Leave Me," was written in the fall of 2020 for Leombruno's senior thesis at Pratt. It was shot on Cape Cod.
