Meet Ivan Leon: Creative-Art Director

My thought process for starting iiEntertainment is inspired through my experiences as a Professional Dancer. Having full control of my time and creativity is very important to me, it allows me to produce art without any limitations. I knew starting iiEntertainment would allow me to collaborate with Artist that truly want to impact the world. With iiEntertainment we will continue to create incredible art by building the bridge between movement, fashion, and culture.

I started off as a professional dancer & that allowed me to get a better sense of the industry. With that experience and my knowledge in the fashion industry of over 8 years, I started creative directing for a burlesque show in NY called The Dollhouse. I was in charge of costumes, choreography direction, lights, themes, make-up, hair, basically everything. I truly credit that experience cementing my passion for directing. Iientertainment is an operating media production company. We Cultivate and provide ground breaking creative direction that elevates our clients brand by telling stories and delivering innovative content through digital, print and live visuals.

iiEntertainement supports, mentorship, collaboration, love, and encouragement with every piece of work we produce. Through reading I have been able to learn and grow so much as a business owner and person. I am an avid reader and can credit books for helping me through tough times, business obstacles, and for personal inspiration. I would to Shoutout a close friend who is the author of “Black Boy Out of Time” A Memoir by Hari Ziyad. “Black Boy Out of Time” is a Heartwarming and heart-wrenching, radical and reflective, Hari Ziyad’s vital memoir is for the outcast, the unheard, the unborn, and the dead. It offers us a new way to think about survival and the necessary disruption of social norms. It looks back in tenderness as well as justified rage, forces us to address where we are now, and, born out of hope, illuminates the possibilities for the future.
