The final commissioned artist of the season, Bronx-born and Miami-based Lisa Leone began her career as a photographer, capturing the earliest images of iconic musicians such as Nas, Lauryn Hill and Maxwell. As a cinematographer, she's shot some of the memorable music videos of our time for artists including TLC, Heavy D, D'Angelo and The Brand New Heavies, and went on to work with her mentor Stanley Kubrick on his last film Eyes Wide Shut, and on independent films and shows for directors. Lisa’s debut film as a writer, director, and cinematographer, “Exactly”, starring Rosie Perez and Sarita Choudhury, premiered at Tribeca, London and Sundance Film Festivals. She has since directed episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Step Up: Highwater “, “Greenleaf”, “Power III: Raising Kanan” and “Big Sky”.
In the fall of 2019 Lisa won a Suncoast Regional Emmy for the documentary, “Remembering Surrounded Islands”, commissioned by the Pérez Art Museum Miami. Her legendary work documenting hip hop and the moments in between have been published in Here I Am — Photographs by Lisa Leone and Contact High: A Visual History of Hip-Hop.
We're thrilled to be celebrating a formidable Season Four with Lisa, and look forward to bringing together members and friends at one of our favorite places in the city, Dante's HiFi. Cocktails are courtesy of Tito's Handmade Vodka, and we encourage you to reserve seating at Dante's to keep the party going after the event.
