About Alexis

Hello! I am from California and have lived in London for the past 7 years. For a few years, I worked in the art department as a prop maker/painter on features and a production designer on shorts. I recently moved back to California and decided to take on screenwriting full time. I love all things science fiction, supernatural and surreal. My week is filled with indie dramas and comedy; my weekends: martial art flicks and mysteries. Every once and a while I'll brave a horror and every other midnight I'm binging a tv series. Suspense thrillers are my jam and foreign films are my Friday nights out.

My screenwriting journey so far... I have written 2 shorts, 3 features and 2 full hour pilots. When I hit the 10,000 hour writing benchmark, I'll let you know. I am hoping to meet fellow writers and non-writers and talk about stories. Feel free to hit me up with a message and let our adventure begin!

Likes: Surrealism, Magic Realism, X-Files, Akira the filmmaker Kurosawa & Akira the comic by Katsuhiro Otomo, Kurzgesagt, Kurt Vonnegut, Christopher Moore, John Irving, and Sex Criminals, to name a few...

Favorite books: Solaris, A Prayer for Owen Meaney, Brave New World, The Orphan Master's Son, The Goldfinch

A favorite quote that inspires a lot of what I write: "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" - Albert Einstein

A favorite passage that has inspired me to care about choosing memorable names for my main characters:
"Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta. She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita." - Vladimir Nobokov

Unique traits: Photorealistic Painter, Sculptor, Martial Artist: Goju-Ryu & Shindo Jinen Ryu
