Director bio:

Alexandra Kern is a filmmaker from New Orleans whose work explores cultural fabric across communities through intimate, character-driven portraits. The rhythms of the American South shape the pacing and sensibility of her films, and her practice also extends into producing work for artists including Dua Lipa, Lil Nas X, and Tyler the Creator.
