In 2015 Lebeau appeared as himself on Channel 4’s Bodyshockers Series 2 Lips, Scalpelling and Giant Tattoos.[11]
During his studies at the NFTS Lebeau directed and produced short comedy Sugarbabies (2020)[12][13] and LGBTQ drama Birthday Boy (2021).[14]
Lebeau’s Sugarbabies premiered at The Picture House Central, as part of the NFTS Showcase supported by Netflix.

Lebeau's film Birthday Boy was selected as an NFTS Platform project in collaboration with Kickstarter.[18] The budget was crowd funded during a campaign featuring Trans Activists Cambell Kenneford,[19] Cairo Nevitt[20] and Maxine Heron.[21][22][23]
Birthday Boy introduces transgender actor Sebastian Emmerson[24][25] cast during open auditions,[26][27] starring alongside former Eastenders star Ted Reilly[28] and Royal Central School of Speech and Drama graduate Selma Alkaff.[29] A notable crew member is Paulo Pandolpho, who previously worked as an editor for The Crown as well as Russell T Davies’ Cucumber and Banana.[30] The soundtrack of Birthday Boy features the song Daughter written and performed by Ryan Cassata.[31][14]
