Nicholas Leffel is a filmmaker from Madison, Wisconsin. He was adopted from a Russian orphanage as toddler by a couple from Washington DC area.   As an adoptee, he shared how he struggled with identity issues growing up and often felt like an outsider. However, he used videomaking as a way to express himself and communicate his experiences. He also talked about how taking a DNA test gave him a more direct sense of identity, but at the same time, still feels survivor's guilt, and how the ongoing war in Ukraine is affecting him personally. As a filmmaker, he discussed the advantages and challenges of having limited resources, and his hopes to have Central Asian representation in mainstream media through his work.      🎤ALL LINKS BELOW 🎧 YouTube: https://bit.ly/3g0qe2g Apple: https://apple.co/34KNRa2 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2S9eQJx RedCircle: https://bit.ly/3yZWX0m Instagram: https://bit.ly/2SW06Oc Facebook: https://bit.ly/3x0QLDP          🎥Connect with Nick📽 Website: https://nickleffel.squarespace.com Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/user84653521          Be sensible and please share and subscribe.
