Who is Le’Roy Kester?

I’m a writer, actor, and filmmaker focused on character-driven stories that sit at the intersection of identity, control, and survival. I’m drawn to narratives that feel intimate but carry global stakes—stories for the intelligent viewers that can linger beyond the screen.

Do you remember the exact moment you fell in love with cinema?

I’ve always loved the arts—singing, dancing, performance. But my connection to cinema truly ignited while working as an extra on Avengers: Endgame. Being on set and witnessing the scale, precision, and collaboration behind the camera made me realize film wasn’t just something to watch—it was something I needed to create.

Tell us about “The Venetian Man”.

The Venetian Man is the first chapter in a four-part film series titled The Obsidian Protocol Saga. It introduces Marco Escher—played by me—a man drawn into a covert world where identity, memory, and control are constantly in question. While the larger saga expands in scope, this first film is intentionally intimate, focused on psychological tension and the personal cost of uncovering the truth.

Which director inspires you the most?

Christopher Nolan. I’m inspired by filmmakers who trust the audience’s intelligence—stories that reward attention and thought. Films that challenge rather than explain, and continue working on the viewer long after they end.

What do you dislike about the world, and what would you change?

The constant noise. We’re surrounded by distraction. I’d like to see more patience—both in storytelling and in how people engage with one another.

How do you imagine cinema in 100 years?

More immersive, but also more restrained. Technology will evolve, but the legendary films that endure will still be rooted in human emotion, conflict, and truth.

What is your impression of WILD FILMMAKER?

WILD FILMMAKER feels like a platform that values intention over trends—one that supports filmmakers who take risks and treat cinema as an art form, not just content.
