Alexandrea Meyer

BIOGRAPHIE

Biography: Alexandrea is a filmmaker working in Los Angeles and Paris. A lover of the fiery human experience, her work strives to make invisible pain visible without judgment or bias. Through each frame, she exposes the fatty silences of female pain. Alexandrea is this year’s winner of the Seymour Cassel Award for Outstanding Performance by an Actress for her lead role in the feature film Beautiful Friend at the 30th Annual Oldenburg International Film Festival. A Georgetown University graduate and Meisner Technique-trained actress, Alexandrea is a filmmaker of quiet chaos. "Love You Forever" is Alexandrea’s directorial debut. Director Statement: My name is Alexandrea Meyer. I am a first-time female director determined to visualize the invisible. “Love You Forever” captures the undiscussed feelings, the taboo experiences, and the hidden pains that permeate human existence. Most importantly, I am a filmmaker creating in the pursuit of connection. Loneliness, I believe, is life’s greatest danger. And for those who have danced with melancholy, I imagine you agree. No single person is truly alone. Everyone deserves connection. And every human merits recognition. Our production has majority female-led department heads, with our cast, crew, and collaborators coming from diverse walks of life. Despite the unhelpful human desire to maintain a “brave front” and untarnished shell, every filmmaker on this project vowed to create with audacious vulnerability. We embraced life’s cracks and chips and welcomed imperfection wholeheartedly. After all, imperfection is the most life-like quality we can achieve. Like Shannon, I was once a woman of quiet chaos. And I endlessly repaired the cracks and chips. For a long time, isolated within my own pain, the suffering metastasized, and the poison of torment was near fatal. And yet, I remained silent. Today, I am astounded, terrified, and amazed by a woman’s ability to contain and compartmentalize. And I am horrified by the damage this ability inflicts. Suffering is everywhere, in everyone. It is inevitable. But in its inevitability is the opportunity to connect. I am here, I am listening, I am sharing, and I want to help. I hope someone watches this film and truly sees Shannon’s suffering. And, through her pain, they see themselves. No one is invisible.
