In 2020, Leticia made her television directing debut on the first season of the critical and commercial hit Bump (Roadshow Rough Diamond/ Stan), of which she directed three episodes. This was a particularly exciting directorial debut, given Letica’s Argentinian heritage and the fact that the series centred Latino Australian characters at the forefront. Leticia returned to direct an additional three episodes on the second series. In 2022 she shot Spooky Files for TAP, Matchbox Pictures, ABC and BBC, which will be released in 2023. Most recently, she directed the second block of the Lingo and SBS anthology series, Erotic Stories.
