Alexandria Lane is a Screenwriter and Director, with a background in Art Direction. A 7th-generation Texan meets a queer modern feminist - Lane’s culturally clashing background leads to character-driven stories that flip western stereotypes, and an unreasonable obsession with outlaw-country karaoke. Lane chooses to exclusively write from a female-gaze, because the world doesn’t see enough of their better half represented. Her dark comedy pilot, ROE V. MAEVE, was featured on Coverfly’s Redlist for Top 20 TV Comedies in 2022 and featured on the Blacklist for Women's History month in 2024. Her screenplays have been selected for prestigious fellowships such as the Orchard Project and Humanitas New Voices Fellowship, as well as recognized by the Sundance Labs, the Blacklist, Women in Film, ISA, ScreenCraft, WeScreenplay, Humanitas, Austin Film Festival, the PAGE Awards and Stage 32. Her most recent directing works include festival-favorites HOT SHEET MOTEL (Best Short Film Nominee, Austin Film Festival), A TINDR TRAP, and LEATHER DADDY (angered the proud boys, 2021, its own claim to fame).
Lane consistently builds platforms for diversity. In 2018, she founded the creative agency Alpha Female Films, which has been featured on Seed & Spark and ran a panel on diversity at SXSW 2019. In 2016, Lane created the pop-up art gallery MILK+Cereal, where she curated LGBTQ+ inclusive art, performance and film screenings. It was highlighted in Austin’s annual art festival, ‘East Austin Studio Tour’.
In addition to creating content, Lane is a well-respected Art Director and Prop Stylist. Her recent brand clients include Oatly, Cheerios, Go Pro, Red Bull, V8, and more. Her most recent prop work can be seen on Severance, Wutang: An American Saga, The Last OG, Hunters, Orange is the New Black, Gotham, Crashing and Dare Devil.
