Alexandria Hellman is an award winning producer with a BFA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts for Film & TV, and a minor in BEMT (Business, Entertainment, Media & Technology). She created her first feature film at sixteen that screened at NBC Universal in 2017, and has since then produced several shorts, proof-of-concepts, and feature length films from New York to Alaska. In 2019, she founded Studio16: an independent production company focused on making high production value films that amplify underrepresented voices. During her 2022 gap year, she discovered a love for post-production sound and is now a certified audio engineer. Post graduate, Alexandria continues to produce debut, independent feature films under her company, and supervises post production sound until transitioning back into writing and directing.
My intention behind this self-documented love letter was to show how my estranged father affected my life.
“Forever I find myself haunted, not knowing what made half of me, and finding some way to fill that void.”
