live action work
As a Writer/Director, Zoë has made many short films and one web series! Her work has been presented in museum galleries and festivals all over the world, including at the Gasparilla International Film Festival, the Bonita Springs Film Festival, The Female Eye Film Festival, Tampa Bay Comic Con, and many more!
Her work is often under the banner of Antbear Productions, the film and theatre company she formed with her identical twin sister, Haley DeLeon, in 2011. As is typical with indie filmmaking, Zoë often wore many hats, including producer, editor, production designer, sound designer, actor, and composer.
​
While a lot of her work dips into the horror, supernatural, and science fiction genres, there is always a darkly comedic edge, and complex relationships are at the core.
