Biography

More About Alexandra Savu

Hi! I am Alexandra, I am a filmmaker based in Dallas, Texas. Upon graduating in May 2023 with a BFA degree in Film and Media Arts from Southern Methodist University, I am planning to work in post-production on the West Coast.

Why do I create? It's the only thing that fully absorbs me and keeps my world moving at all times.

Since entering the media industry a couple years ago, I have been freelancing my own productions, working in post (color correction/grading, sound mixing, after effects, and editing), directing crews and producing my short films. I have created my own original style of filmmaking, emphasizing human emotions in critical moments, illustrated through different genres in movies created outside the collaborative projects or companies I got involved with. Currently, I am interning in the cable entertainment and creative marketing departments at NBCUniversal Media, cutting promotional content for shows featured on BRAVO and E!.

I am constantly creating visual content of all forms and for different organizations to accomplish my career goal of becoming a fulfilled film director and editor. Don't hesitate to contact me for further details and collaborations.
