Sundance Film Festival 2025 hosted the premiere of Bulldozer's pilot episode, which is borne from the collaborative effort of the Leeds siblings. Joanna Leeds created the show, and it is directly inspired by events from her life, from cheating boyfriends to the mental strain everyday life puts on a person. As such, she naturally takes the lead role as the "undermedicated, chronically impassioned young woman [who] lurches from crisis to crisis of her own making," as the logline describes. Though she has appeared briefly in shows like NCIS or Superstore, Bulldozer will be a hefty dose of pure Joanna where her acting receives the limelight. Her brother, Andrew Leeds, takes the role of director in the show, ensuring her vision is brought to life alongside the star-studded cast of Mary Steenburgen, Nat Faxon, Harvey Guillen, Chris “CP” Powell and Kate Burton.
This year, the Leeds siblings sat with Steve Weintraub in Collider's media studio at the Rendezvous Cinema Center at Sundance 2025, where they talked about the premiere of their pilot episode. They reveal the stresses of financing the project with COVID disrupting their process, getting shut down by the police and dealing with on-set quirks like hard mats, screaming and cranes. Andrew Leeds also reminisces about his previous roles -- how he learned from their directing styles and gained supportive connections that helped them get Bulldozer off the ground. Hear about these problems and how they dealt with it straight from the siblings in the video above
