MoviesPodcastTV0 Comments87 views

LEXI ALEXANDER, Oscar-nominated director best known for “Green Street Hooligans” and cult classic “Punisher: War Zone,” joins me to talk about her journey to becoming a Hollywood filmmaker. Along the way, we touch on martial arts, being a stuntwoman, her short films and feature films, her cult status with comic book fans, and her advocacy in representing people exploited or ignored by Hollywood, including women and online file-sharing pirates. It’s a great talk! Enjoy!
