Visual Intonation Podcast welcomes Liliane Laborde-Edozien, a Miami-based director, writer, and creative producer whose cinematic work spans continents and genres. With a unique trajectory from UC Berkeley’s Microbiology program to the world of filmmaking, Liliane offers a fresh perspective on storytelling. She shares her transition from aspiring medical professional to director, shedding light on her journey through documentary filmmaking in Africa and Latin America. 

As a creative producer, Liliane’s credits include directing global campaigns and narrative projects, working with international teams across the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. She reflects on the challenges and rewards of collaborating in multiple languages, all while crafting emotionally charged stories that explore identity, transformation, and human connection. Her films have been showcased on four continents, and her photography has graced galleries in London, earning her a reputation as a dynamic force in the creative world. 

Liliane is currently working on her narrative directorial debut, with plans to continue her work in both documentary and commercial media. In this episode, she talks about her artistic approach, which blends a cinematic eye with emotional depth, and her passion for bringing stories to life across various formats. Whether she’s directing a documentary or producing a branded piece, Liliane is drawn to work that asks big questions and resonates with audiences on a personal level. 

In our conversation, Liliane shares her thoughts on two influential films: Citizen Kane and They Live—both of which she believes continue to offer sharp insights into corporate media and consumer culture. We also discuss Michael Singer’s The Untethered Soul, a book that has profoundly influenced Liliane’s approach to maintaining an open heart in both her personal and professional life. Join us for an insightful discussion about creativity, identity, and the art of telling stories that matter.
