Over the next three years, Lex will direct a number of self-penned short films, in approach to her feature debut as writer-director.

Across these projects, Lex will grow from a low-budget independent filmmaker (< $500k) to a not-so-low-budget filmmaker (< $25m), specializing in the thriller and action genres.

When Lex is not writing scripts or writing crime fiction, she is watching films, dismantling cameras, and making Ed McBain in-jokes to the four other people in the world who get it. (Lex does also have a parallel life as a literary writer, but for generous helpings of grifters, getaways, and officers of the law who are flexible on the law part, her genre work is where you'll be happiest.)

Benthic Pictures is owned and operated by Lexia Snowe Arts Ltd  , the London-based loan-out corporation through which Lex supplies her creative services.

Note that Benthic Pictures means films for which Lex is the writer-director. Screenplays written by Lex to be directed and produced by other people are managed by Bad Valet Films.
