About Aleisha
I was born in Arlington, Massachusetts but don't know anything about it because I went straight to LA as a baby. I grew up in a family with five brothers and one sister. At age 7 I began writing poetry and short stories. In junior high school, I worked for the school paper and added acting and directing to the mix.
My love of writing goes hand-in-hand with my love of people, languages and cultures. In high school, I studied German and Spanish. At fifteen I got a scholarship for a summer exchange program and went to Germany then went again for a full year. I've traveled many countries in Europe and India.
At 19, I fell in love and married someone I met at church then had a preemie baby.
I joined a theater and wrote several one-act plays. It was at a film festival though that I realized I'd found my calling. I turned one of the novels I started into a screenplay.
I filmed three shorts, derived from my plays and acted in an award winning short. I also became crew for several productions from the filmmakers around me. Personally, I started going through some marriage problems and ended up divorcing my husband and moving to LA.
I've been assisting in other films and TV/web as cast and crew and also shot two PSAs for Help for Orphans, Int.
I am exceedingly happy as I got married in 2009 to an amazing and wonderful man, Byron Gore. You can check out his music at byrongore.com. We married on June 7, 2009 in a lovely ceremony at our home surrounded by many friends and family, even from the UK! It was wonderful.
Altogether I've written and directed over 50 shorts since I produced and acted in an internet sketch comedy show called Saturday Night YouTube! We've shot and aired 47 episodes.
I'm currently working on and wrote a romantic comedy about a woman coming back into the dating scene after divorce, called Chocolate is Not Better than Sex, which I am now producing and will direct in December. See the teaser trailer chocolateisnotbetterthansex.com.
