Alexandra Stergiou is a Greek American writer, director, and creative director based in Los Angeles. She makes commercials that are funny on purpose and films that blur the line between what's real and what's rehearsed.
She started out at Vice and in documentary, with work airing on PBS's Independent Lens and screening at DOC NYC, SFFILM, and the Miami Film Festival. Her hybrid short The Act of Coming Out, a real casting call for a fake film, was published by The New Yorker, named a Vimeo Staff Pick, and received a special jury mention at the Athens International Film and Video Festival. Her first narrative short, Miss, premiered at Raindance and played NewFest, Rooftop Films, and London Short Film Festival. She recently completed her second, Unidentified Objects. She holds a BFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and an MFA from Stanford.
As a creative director and copywriter, she's led campaigns for Grindr, directing talent and building ideas on budgets big and small.
She's a former Brooklyn APA champ, an aspiring chess hustler, and always accepting Letterboxd recs.
