Alexandra Fisher
I tell character-driven, emotionally charged, and psychologically raw stories. I'm drawn to narratives with visceral intensity that explore the human condition, the strengths in our weaknesses, and the weaknesses in our strengths. My visual style blurs the lines between cinema and documentary. Having spent years working in theater, I have a deep love and respect for actors. Their performances are the beating heart of my films.
