ALEXA WOLF (she/her) DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Alexa Wolf is a cinematographer and semi-professional wanderer. Since childhood she has always appreciated being behind the lens instead of in front, so she’ll keep this short…Alexa specializes in narrative features and commercials. She honed her eye (and her people skills) during her years working in the camera and grip & electric departments. Story always comes first in her work, and she enjoys nothing more than helping bring to life a strong narrative. Some recent projects include In France Michelle Is a Man’s Name (Grand Jury Award Outfest ‘20 & Slamdance ‘21), What She Said a feature length dramedy (available on Amazon Prime), and commercial work for clients such as Zeiss, Centrum, Sports Illustrated, the CDC, & History Channel.  Alexa was a recipient of the ASC Vision Mentorship for emerging cinematographers and is also a member of local 600. When she isn’t on set you can find her somewhere in the mountains - rock climbing, backpacking, and wondering why she thought it was a good idea to bring a bulky film camera along.
