HEY THERE! I’M DUSTIN JAMES LEIGHTON — Director, DP, and Media Entrepreneur.
I got my start as a janitor at Broadway Dance Center in New York, built my creative career in Los Angeles, and now call Scottsdale, Arizona home as the entertainment industry embraces remote work.
These days, I wear a few hats:

Founder of Acting and Cold Brews - home to The Artist’s Den, Arizona’s first and only professional film ensemble. We’re also the only acting school offering professionally filmed demo reels and a live class every Monday, designed to help actors land agents and book real work.
“ “‘Lostless’ tells a powerful story without words, with captivating performances by Soto and Morrison, and expertly crafted sound design by Abbot Miller. A unique voice in contemporary cinema, the film serves as a testament to Leighton’s boundless creativity and artistic vision, inviting viewers on a journey of introspection and self-discovery.””

Founder of Headshots and Cold Brews — proud to be voted Scottsdale’s Best Headshots!
Before all this, I was a voice actor with over 7,500 sessions under my belt - including the incredible honor of voicing Autobot Evac in the Transformers franchise. You’ve probably heard me on campaigns for Tresemmé, Fandango, McDonald’s, FOX Sports, MTV, HBO, and more.
