ALEXIS VAIL
WRITER + DIRECTOR + PRODUCER
Her first short film as a Writer/Director, AS SHADOWS, premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF) as part of the New York Women in Film and Television (NYWIFT) block called "Women Calling the Shots”. AS SHADOWS also won 1st place for Best Producer and 2nd place for Best Suspense/Drama at the NYWIFT 2020 Online Short Festival.
After getting her start as a Production Assistant on big-budget shows, she quickly fell in love with independent filmmaking and worked her way up to an Assistant Director mainly through low-budget indie features while writing and directing her own projects.
When not on set, she is developing her own slate of projects which are in various stages.
