About Alexis Thompson

Throughout my academic journey, I have immersed myself in the multifaceted world of film and media, with a specific focus on representing the rich diversity within the diaspora. My coursework in Film/Media, coupled with a minor in African studies, has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of film theory and technical cinematography aspects. This academic foundation has not only honed my ability to critically evaluate films based on thematic relevance, artistic quality, storytelling, and technical proficiency but has also instilled in me a deep appreciation for the power of visual storytelling in shaping perspectives and fostering inclusivity. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have actively sought practical experience through internships, volunteer work, and hands-on projects. These experiences have played a pivotal role in refining my skills and providing me with a holistic view of the film industry. I have had the opportunity to collaborate with diverse teams, contributing my insights and learning from industry professionals. This exposure has strengthened my proficiency in various aspects of film production, from pre-production planning to post-production editing.
