Lexi Alexander

Lexi Alexander fascinates me because so few people turn an entire life into raw material the way she has. A German-Palestinian-American who fought in karate and kickboxing, then broke into film as a stunt performer before earning an Oscar nomination for her very first short, she clearly never waited for permission. I suspect that mixed heritage and that fighter's discipline give her work a perspective most directors simply cannot fake. I admire creators who arrive in their craft having already lived hard, and Alexander strikes me as exactly that kind of artist with nothing borrowed.
