Directing Reel & Bio

Born in Germany, to a Palestinian father and German mother, Lexi Alexander, a former World Kickboxing Champion, worked her way up from stunt-woman to Oscar-nominated director with her live-action short film Johnny Flynton, a drama about a boxer. Eager to learn a common language with actors, Lexi studied at the Piero Dusa Acting Conservatory and traveled to Russia to study the Nikolai Demidov technique, before helming feature films including the SXSW Jury & Audience Award winning drama Green Street Hooligans, Marvel's Punisher: War Zone and Lifted. She has recently sold a TV show and a movie to Blumhouse Productions and directed episodes for shows such as ARROW, SUPERGIRL, LIMITLESS, SWAT and AMERICAN GOTHIC.
