Casa Leo PR: London Film Festival PR Agency Profile

Originally published July 2026. Updated October 14, 2026.

What is Casa Leo PR?

Casa Leo PR is a London-based boutique publicity and strategy agency for independent film, launched in July 2026 by Raindance executives David Martínez and Jacky Orozco. Variety reported it offers end-to-end, bespoke PR, strategic guidance and in-house productions to a select number of films, with a focus on Europe and Latin America.

Who founded Casa Leo PR?

David Martínez, executive director of Raindance, and Jacky Orozco, a Raindance producer, launched the agency, according to Variety's July 16, 2026 exclusive. NRmagazine described the launch as the Raindance leaders crossing to the other side of the mirror, building an agency for independent European and Latin American cinema. EPR's earlier version gave their start dates at Raindance and Orozco's earlier work at the Mexican embassy in London, which could not be independently confirmed here.

What does Casa Leo PR do?

Casa Leo PR provides publicity, festival-circuit and awards-campaign guidance and in-house production for a small roster of films, according to Variety's description and EPR's earlier summary. NRmagazine describes the firm as a boutique rather than a press-release factory, aimed at helping films that exist artistically reach audiences through international festival circulation. EPR's entertainment and media PR section covers the wider category.

Which clients has Casa Leo PR worked with?

EPR's earlier version, summarizing the Variety report, said Casa Leo PR opened with five independent-filmmaker clients and Netflix as an anchor account, including publicity support for a London screening of Netflix's documentary A Child of My Own and Venice Film Festival support for producer Humberto Busto's title Tijuana Todavía. Those client details are reported secondhand here and were not confirmed against the original Variety article.

Why does the Casa Leo PR launch matter?

The launch is a small example of festival staff moving into publicity for independent films. NRmagazine framed it as an attempt to fill the gap between films that exist artistically and films that reach international audiences, and noted that what remains to be seen is which films the agency chooses to represent and what results it produces. EPR's earlier industry statistics on box office and television commissions were not sourced here and have been removed.

How does Casa Leo PR compare with other entertainment PR firms?

Casa Leo PR is a new film-festival specialist, so the best comparison points on EPR are larger entertainment firms in the PR agency profiles directory, such as Sunshine Sachs and PMK Entertainment. Those are full-service entertainment firms, while Casa Leo PR focuses on independent film festivals.
