Alexandra Lukey
Director & 1st AD
ABOUT ALEXANDRA
As a Swiss/Swedish film and music video director and assistant director, Alex brings a vibrant fusion of her passions for dancing, music, and diverse cultures into her work. Her keen focus on perception differences adds a unique depth to her artistic expression.
In a richly diverse family, Alexandra's upbringing, influenced by her Swedish mother, Swiss father, and early years in Moscow, unveiled the power of breaking barriers fueled by ignorance.
At Teenergy Productions in Montreux (Switzerland), Alexandra's year-long internship (2019-2020) delved into the practical realms of filmmaking, a passion ignited during her high school studies in Philosophy and Psychology. Her academic journey continued at SAE Institute Geneva, earning a BA in Digital Film Production with a specialization as a Director and 1st Assistant Director (2020-2023). She moves to London in September 2023, to complete an MA degree in Directing at MetFilm School, where she refines her style as a director and learns about the UK film and TV industry.
Beyond the camera, dancing pulses through Alexandra's life. Late into her teens, she discovered a profound passion for latin and ballroom dancing, a fervor that seeps into her directorial work, particularly in dance and music videos. During her year at MetFilm School, Alexandra challenges herself with the "Calendar Project", in which she directs one dance video per month during the course of a year.
As a filmmaker, Alexandra aspires to showcase the inherent beauty in every culture and each difference, emphasizing that appreciation is rooted in perception. She is drawn to storytelling through drama, comedies, musicals and music videos. Her overarching goal is to unite the world through the transformative lens of art.
