Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Emmy-Winning Producer, Director & Writer Leif Bristow. His career spans more than 46 films, including 18 for HBO, six Emmy Awards, and over 200 international accolades. Leif has worked with Hallmark, Amazon Freevee, and international partners to bring heartfelt, globally resonant stories to life — from record-setting Hallmark hits like Love on Safari to his latest, Dancing Through the Shadow, based on the bestselling memoir by his wife, Agnes Bristow.

The project is deeply personal to both Leif and Agnes. Agnes wrote Dancing Through the Shadow about Tia Zhang’s extraordinary life under Communist China — a woman they met years ago when their daughter, actress Brittany Bristow, was taught dance by her. That meeting sparked a friendship that changed their lives and inspired Leif to bring Tia’s story to the screen. It’s an incredible journey you need to hear. Enjoy!
