Burkinabé-American filmmaker (Burkina Faso / USA).

Leslie TÔ is a film director, screenwriter, film editor and producer.

She is known for "Redefinition" (2006, Director / Producer), "En route" (2021, Director / Producer).

A Burkinabé-American filmmaker based in New York, Leslie Tô's first short film, "Redefinition", was shot in Harlem and addresses the universal issue of cultural hybridity with a particular focus on the experience of the African Diaspora. She has since made two other short films which are being used with "Redefinition" to form a compilation called "What Does the Beginning of Pan-Africanism Feel Like?" She currently works in Cultural Acquisitions for Link TV, a non-commercial satellite television station that features a mixture of documentaries, international news, and cultural programs from around the world.
