Working On

May 2024
Welp... So that was a four-year radio silence. Like most everyone else in the world, Lex took some time out to focus on not contracting (or transmitting to others) a harrowing respiratory disease. She mainly spent the time writing two books of literary fiction and one of poetry, advantaged by the fact that literary toil is far less communal/contagious than film-making.

But, baby, Covid's whacked (mostly) and Lex is back. With the scripts for Lex's short films Song and Midnight Oil very ready to rock, an updated production plan for 2025 and beyond is now in motion. News will be posted here over the coming months.
