Understandably, when one envisions the heart of the film and music business, scenes of Los Angeles’ sprawling expanse or New York City’s towering skyscrapers come to mind. But there’s a name making waves in the industry from an unexpected place, Albuquerque, New Mexico—Leesa Robinson, a veritable entertainment polymath who is turning the Land of Enchantment into a burgeoning hub of creativity and talent.
A studio where the magic of storytelling enchantingly merges with the cinematic experience—this is not a Hollywood set dream but rather the reality crafted by Leesa at Enchantment Film Studios. Her commitment to the craft creates not just films but ecosystems in which artists can thrive and narratives come to life.
Leesa’s journey didn’t start in the bright lights of a big city but was born from a vision to centralize and celebrate the myriad of talents that often go unnoticed in the shadows of more prominent entertainment capitals. At Leesa Robinson Agency, talents spanning from aspiring actors to seasoned performers find guidance, support, and, most importantly, opportunities. “Our philosophy is to identify and nurture talent, helping to guide their career paths with genuine care and strategic planning,” she explains.
But it’s not just about putting people in the spotlight; it’s about the match—the resonance between the player and the play, the singer and the song. Here’s where Indie Lion Records comes in, a record label distinctively Leesa’s brainchild, fostering a sanctuary for musicians whose voices and tunes defy the ordinary, offering something refreshingly unique to the airwaves.
Leesa’s entrepreneurial flair and overarching influence shine brightly across her ventures. She stunningly balances her roles as a studio owner, record label head, and talent agency maven through a mix of keen business acumen and an authentic passion for the arts. “You need an eye for talent but also an understanding of the business. It’s as much about contracts and negotiations as it is about creativity and artistry,” she notes.
Getting to know Leesa, it’s clear she is deeply woven into the fabric of the industries she champions. Emphasizing authenticity and artistic integrity, she pushes boundaries, setting a new standard for what’s achievable outside of traditional entertainment powerhouses. It’s no wonder Albuquerque’s cultural landscape is richer for it.

As the conversation winds down, Leesa imparts a final thought, reflecting her comprehensive approach: “True success comes from recognizing the interconnectedness of different media and creating a space where they can all flourish together.”
