[UNIDENTIFIED FLYING HUMAN]
Co-Producer, Actor & Accent Coach
Monica Blaze Leavitt joins the cast and creative team of UFH [Unidentified Flying Human], a new dark satire short film written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Melissa Mars (From Paris with Love).

UFH is currently in pre-production, with a shoot scheduled for Spring 2026 in New York.
MARCH TOWARDS CHANGE
WITH IVP
FUNDRAISER EVENT
The Ides of March — immortalized onstage as a warning — was once a festival honoring Anna Perenna, goddess of the eternal year, and the cycles of survival, renewal, and endurance women have carried across time. This March, we reclaim the title.
It’s going to be a night of bold performances, good drinks, great people, and a little bit of mythic chaos. You can come anytime throughout the evening, grab a drink, see some powerful work, and celebrate with us. Stop by anytime from 7-10:30pm! But the earlier you get there, the more time you have to enjoy this night of fun, art and mystery.
THE SIGN
Voice-Over
A woman’s peaceful jog takes a terrifying turn when she dials 911 after spotting a man with a dog in a no-dogs-allowed park. But things are not always as they seem…

The film premiered at the Garden State Film Festival 2025 in Asbury Park, NJ, enjoyed a nice festival run, and earned the Audience Choice Award – Honorable Mention at YoFiFest 2025, where the whole cast attended. See Red carpet photo!
The Sign marks Monica's second collaboration with filmmaker Melissa Mars.

I'm so thrilled to be dialect coaching the brilliant Valerie David in her solo show, "The Pink Hulk"! We worked on about 20 different characters' voices and accents together. This is a personal story of Valerie's successful battle against cancer.
THE LAST TOUCH
Voice-Over
A young couple struggles to keep their love alive in a world where technology has replaced intimacy, and human touch is deadly.

The Last Touch Movie Review
"Actress Monica Blaze Leavitt voices Sweet Cherry, a subtle yet haunting auditory reminder of who is in control. Leavitt reminds me a bit of the computer voice on Star Trek, except more comforting, yet the underlying tones suggest she is only nice when obeyed."

Mister Dusty Rose’s Ghost Show
Director
Monica Blaze Leavitt directs Mister Dusty Rose’s Ghost Show, the critically acclaimed immersive hit starring mind reader and mystery entertainer Anthony Logan Cole. The 2020 UK Tour brought an immersive history of seance and mediumship to Manchester’s Antwerp Mansion, Pump House Arts, and Swiss Church in London’s West End from Oct 5-16 2020.
The intimate experience gained both audience and critical acclaim for its run.
REVIEW
Mister Dusty Rose’s GHOST SHOW is, therefore, a success in theatrical terms. This is a late-night visit to a man who is unlike any other that you have ever come across. And it takes place in a building that you probably don’t ever want to go back into again. But given what performance theatre has had to endure just to exist in 2020, it’s a welcome relief and pleasure to have made the visit at all.
