Based in Los Angeles, CA, Letia Solomon began her career in film as an actress in 2012. In 2015, she wrote and produced her first short film “Untold” which was centered on domestic violence and received critical acclaim at the 2015 Black Woman Film Network Summit in Atlanta, GA and the 2015 SE Manly Short Showcase in Los Angeles, CA. From that experience, her passion for film blossomed. Letia went on to complete a film course at the New York Film Academy in Burbank, CA and wrote and directed two more short films. Woman of many talents, she enjoys all aspects of filmmaking but is currently focusing on acting, directing, and writing.
