ALEJANDRA LÓPEZ

Born and raised in Puerto Rico, a commonwealth of the United States, Alejandra's voice fuses intimate human stakes with systemic oppression. Her short film "The Blue Cape", which she wrote and directed, has screened at ten Oscar® qualifying film festivals. Alejandra became the first Latina to direct for Marvel Entertainment and has also directed Bad Bunny for W Magazine. She recently shadowed the President of the DGA and Emmy®-nominated director Lesli Linka Glatter on the pilot of Apple TV+'s "Imperfect Women". An avid traveler herself, Alejandra has visited over thirty countries in four continents, including war zones.

 

Alejandra has been selected for the Warner Brother's Discovery Access Director's Program, the Ryan Murphy Half Initiative, the Women In Film Directing Fellowship, and the Alliance of Women Directors #MentorLatinaDirectors Fellowship. As a writer, she's been staffed on Sony Pictures Television's "Startup", participated on the Starz #TakeTheLead Writers' Intensive and Rideback Rise Circle, and was a fellow at the Sundance Institute Cultural Impact Residency with her feature "Salmon Run". As a grant recipient of the Inaugural Short Film Fund of Top Dawg Entertainment Films, she's currently in pre-production for the proof of concept. Through the Disney Entertainment Television Directing Program, Alejandra will become the first Puerto Rican to direct the longest-running American soap opera: "General Hospital". Based in LA, her pantry is filled with rice and beans.
